File 03 is still being written!

The last time I checked in with a devlog, I was 40% done with writing Chapter 12. Here's what I've done since then.

• Finished Chapter 12

• Finished Chapter 13

I've started to think of my writing process like ice climbing. I vaguely know that my goal is to reach the top, and some key landmarks along the way, but generally I am choosing where to stick my axe and place my feet as I go. It can feel unsafe, and slow, and sometimes painful, but as long as I have confidence and persist with it, I can make it. Does that metaphor make sense?

Thankfully, despite how long it's taking to write, this File is a lot easier to write than File 02. My hope is I can push through and finish the next two chapters by the end of this month, and then it'll be on to the fun part.

Until next time!
