The Dreaming: Is getting a German edition, yay! Apart from that, it’s been a pretty bad month for me. Was sick with the flu for 2 weeks, and fell behind some other work I had to do, which includes a one-volume graphic novel for something else. At least there’s only 2 more chapters of “The Dreaming” to tone. I’m also working on the cover, finally.
