I know who’s in the scene.

I know what needs to be accomplished.

The plot is ready, the keyboard is warm, and I even brewed a good cup of coffee.

So WHY am I suddenly thinking about deep-cleaning the grout between floor tiles like I’m on a medieval quest for the Holy Mop?

Oh right.

 Because I’m trying to:

🌀 Casually reintroduce characters from the previous books

 🐉 Without info-dumping harder than a bard with no audience

 ⏳ While juggling time travel like a caffeinated wizard with a broken hourglass

 📚 AND making book 4 standalone enough that readers don’t rage-quit because they missed Book 2 and think Malkor is a goat (He’s not. Anymore.)

So yeah.

 Technically, I’m not procrastinating.

 I’m time-buffering.
