I was busy writing for like 10,000 hours. I’ve read a thousand works of fiction, but almost none in two decades. So don’t make fun of my Demonic language, because Neemoo is just a boy, and you might hurt his feelings.ĭo I even read novels anymore?

So I think I’ve written the same amount as Tolkien at this point. This week I’m working on my fantasy RPG, because last week I finished the final edit of my fourth novel, wrapping up eight months of working almost every minute of every day.
