He hadn&#8217;t done one in quite a while, and it felt damn good. In this case it was also fun to reconnect with characters we haven&#8217;t written lately.

This is a trend we expect to continue for the foreseeable future. It&#8217;s exciting and intimidating at the same time. One thing that&#8217;s become clear to us is that the biggest appeal of traditional publishing is the idea of having other people do all this stuff. (Which isn&#8217;t necessarily an accurate idea, but it sure is appealing!)<\/p>\n<p>Now, back into it. More worlds to conquer!
