In The Beginning
A lighter roundup this week. Things are ramping up, and the news is starting. I’m sure it won’t be long until there is more to discuss.
Have you made any new year's resolutions? I haven’t, although there are some little projects that I want to complete before we ring out 2023. Hopefully, the news will be coming soon.
Issue six of Custard went live - with print versions and digital. As a side quest for this year, I want to do some in-person selling. Maybe a smaller convention or craft fair…
