A treat for later! ❤️

Now that I'm writing and sending short works again, I'm inviting people to read some of my really old work, before the period where I stopped being able to write, that being before the endless recovery of novel-writing. (Still recovering.)

"The Free Sounds" was a failed novella I was working on.)

Got a MILLION things to do right now, but I don’t want to miss this opportunity. *goes off to sharpen a pencil ✏️ *

Fabulous news!!! 🎉

I’ve been living the high life 🍷🍷🍷🍷too much to be able to function in a writerly way. So I’ll just chill, listen to music and tomorrow is another day.

Sometimes I forget how to write and think I have to know what to write or how to do it before I start and so I don't start until I just can't take it anymore and start anyway thinking I don't know how to do this and then I write and I like it and it works and I remember that that is how it works
