  • The things we do for books

    The past two years, I’ve kept a vision board of sorts on my desk. I cover it with photos of things I love, the things I hope to get done, the things I look forward to. Admittedly, there are screenshots of the sequel to Breath of the Wild on there,… Read the rest…
