Day 18, TINSEL RAIN NaNoWriMo: 37138/60000.

Welp, it’s the last weekend. Was I hoping for more from the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Kickstarter? Yes. Was it a success anyway? Yes. Have I learned some useful things about my expectations, going forward? Yes. Does noting all of this help? …Yes, I think so.
