DreamScapers!

This has been a pretty good week, all told. I started a new job Monday, and am settling into the groove there. I've also had a little time to work on the developmental edits I received a few weeks back. There are a few sections of the Data Heist chapter left, and I'll kick it back over to the dev editor for a few more notes.

This is my first time working with a dev editor, and the process has been really enlightening. From my day job, I already knew and believed that having an external perspective was priceless. But, seeing how some of my ideas landed with one person before sending it out to a broader audience gave me time to tweak some things that weren't hitting the way I wanted them to.

Beyond that, I've added a new procedure to the book for just, wandering around and filling in the map. I've been playing Wind Waker lately (I swear I play non-Zelda games), and I took a light stab at emulating the experience of looking around the map, seeing something on the horizon, and pulling out the telescope to look at it. That came about because of a comment

Our charming editor Josh also pitched something for the DreamScape Usernames that I'll leave as a surprise for now. But, I am pretty excited for when I start layout and make the thing. 

Fingers crossed the rest of the year will be pretty calm and straightforward, but we won't hold our breath...
