…with the return of Kitsnaps I’m going to have to try desperately to get regular blog posts up more often or this will look like a photography blog. Which is fine, it’s just not, you know, what I actually do professionally or anything. :) Speaking of what I do professionally, the SHAMAN RISES manuscript currently goes like this: CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE (page break) CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN so I’d better get to it, eh?
