Reflections on Progress
So, I know I talked about progress writing and stuff in other posts not too long ago, but this post is completely unrelated to it. Well, actually, I'll probably end up relating them by the end, but just hear me out for a bit first. I keep a lot of old notebooks around sometimes, but …
