January Joys: Monthly Missives from The Dream Pedlar

Hello, Dreamer!

I'm especially excited to write to you this month because I've just crossed a milestone in my brief publishing life. It's been exactly five years since I published my first book, a fantasy novella titled In Search of Leo.

To mark the occasion, I wanted to give the book a bit of an update now that I have access to fancy editing and formatting tools that I didn't have at my disposal five years ago.

That task was taking way longer than I had anticipated, and so instead of spending more time on getting it done, I went and wrote an entire post on that.

pondering the mystery of time: why tasks take longer than they need to

What if the single most important thing that keeps us from getting to our most important tasks is nothing and no one else ... but ourselves?
