30 huh? I remember being bummed about turning 30, now I'm pushing 40 and I'm still bummed. I guess I want to stay 16. Hopefully you have a healthier take on chronological progression. Mine doesn't help much.
So when will I see my dino samurai book hitting store shelves? Here's a thought, finish it, but don't try and update it for adults, write it as the 8 year old you would have wanted to read it.
