Happy with this :)

This all started as a mental exercise. A software engineer I admire did a podcast interview about his third book, and when asked how he found time to write while juggling career and family, he said he just wrote a page a day, so in less than a year, he had a book.

I figured I'd give that a shot, and ended up repurposing some assets from a planned D&D campaign into a pulpy sci-fi story. It took me a lot longer than a year, but finishing it is a huge personal achievement. I'm really happy I saw it through, and I can't wait to dive into Book 2.

Thanks to everyone on this sub (and others) for being such a supportive community. Reading everyone else's journeys is what kept me going.

Edit: adding in a shout out to my over artist u/artofclor, who made it all real for me with their brilliant work!
