+## Foreword
+
+I was originally gonna release this by the end of the year as a cohesive novel,
+however it looks like the cards aren't falling that way. I want to instead shift
+[Spellblade](https://christine.website/blog/spellblade-plans-2021-08-16) into a
+web novel, which I am defining as something that I'll release in big chunks like
+this every month or so. I don't want to compromise any of the artistic vision or
+whatever, I just want each "chunk" to be a lot more finely scoped than "the
+entire damn novel" so that it feels like it's much less daunting of a task.
+As always, any feedback about this is appreciated. This is my first time doing
+this kind of writing, I expect it to be kinda rough.
+
+From our world to yours,
