    About this ebook

    I'm not really sure of a long description here, as I've really set it out in the short one. Suffice to say, I was sick to death of reading all the bullshit that goes with manuscripts - that they HAVE to be this and they HAVE to be that: don't use different fonts and don't play with the spacing and make a coherent story etc. So I set out to defy all that.

      Mar 7, 2022
