November Update

My last post was on Oct 9th and was full of plans and hope. that hasn’t come to pass as I am sure you are shocked to learn. Instead a combination of lack of planning (despite starting at a time that gave me plenty of time) not feeling 100% and other commitments I haven’t managed…

It’s beginning to look a lot like…

I wish… the weather has changed in the last week from warms days where it’s hard to concentrate in the office because of the heat to me having to close the windows to keep warm while working. I must admit to hoping for the cooler weather to come, but I like the happy medium. We…

Writing Meets and Covid
