    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there a printable with all the keywords on them? I like to print things out to keep track of my progress…

    • @Nessa I’m a bit slow on this but yes, I’m in the process of putting one together. I’ll for sure have it ready by the first of February so check back.
