Well that was wishful thinking. Got all of one chapter edited thanks to Yule Log.
Behold the face of a menace.
Five books to get to know me by:
1. The Haunting of Hill House
2. Hamlet
3. Howl’s Moving Castle
4. Sense and Sensibility
5. A Monster Calls
Got some extra free time, so hoping to finish the 2nd draft of the (still title-less) maritime horror this week. 🤞

School of the art institute of Chicago has a pretty good guide on the artist statement that may be helpful.

In a seaside landscape, a skeletal figure tugs at a man in oilskins as they stand in the water, just off the beach. Gray, stormy clouds in the sky, and a tower or lighthouse stands in the distance.
