I have been working on this novel since the creation of The Unexperienced Yet solo work.

Each time I attempt to conclude it, I realise it still feels unfinished—because I continue to perform the solo work, and it keeps evolving.

My debut novel, inspired by The Unexperienced Yet solo, is coming soon.
Keep an eye out.
