About writing, that is. On the plate: Determine a way ahead for If These Walls Could Talk. It’s been on hiatus for eons, and I need to think about where, if anywhere, it’s going to go. Along with that, I need to get back to the first 5,000 words of … Continue reading →
Stephanie Tyler posts search phrases from her site every month. July’s are a hoot (well, so are her other month’s). I thought, maybe I could do something like that.
