Manuscript Day 56 - Lunch, and "Taming the Beast"

Recorded Friday, December 12rd, 2025, the 56nd day (would've been 57 but I missed the day after Thanksgiving) of working on the manuscript for my first self-published book which was originally supposed to be a simple preface followed by my unpublished short-form writings (poetry, song lyrics, the beginnings of a short story or two, etc.) from the early 2000's, but has since become a ~37k word and growing monstrosity. Hopefully available early 2026!
