I never seem to remember when these start even though it would be good to participate as you can set your own goals so it wouldn’t have to be a mad dash to get 50k down in a month. But again I didn’t realise until a friend posted in a writers Facebook group. So now…
Where do you do your creative thinking? I have an office and this is where I should be doing my work but I made the mistake of filling my “man cave” with stuff! When I am in here supposed to be working I end up watching TV or browsing or playing games. Occasionally I do…
