Every so often. like every couple of pages, when I decide to do an establishing shot, I think back to the beginning of chapter two when I made a crack about how we’d never see the outside of a building again and it’s just like… fool… you played yourself.
Time passes! Much like it did when I got sucked into playing The Sims when I loaded it up to build the coffeeshop to get this perspective. Why didn’t I do this eleven weeks ago? Hubris. Sheer hubris.

I love this. There’s a palpable sense of connection here.
