I am itching to share this novel! Of course, I've no idea if it will be well received, but I am excited. I hope to catch up with your course in the next week and be gifted by your masterful writings and offerings. I would put in cute emojis here, but I'm on a laptop, so imagine trees and flower emojis :)

I did! I finished it after months of it mocking me on the desk while I wrote. So when my novel mocked me, I turned to the giraffes. LOL

I loved this post - I especially found your personal sharing of editing and writing your novel(s) very inspiring. I’m in Los Angeles for a couple days and unable to leave my WIP at home, so here I am enjoying the weather in the morning, working at a hotel, editing and drafting and highlighting and sighing a lot.

I have begun to really enjoy writing my currentl novel - I’m so excited to share it when its ready.

And I’m glad you’re back! I missed reading your words!

Thank you, Adrian! I, too, am excited to watch your novel soar into the world, especially because I'll get to read it myself.

Thank you for this reflection into your life as a writer. Eloquent, thoughtful and compassionate as always. I am glad you had a good stay with your family. I also loved the watercolour art 🌼💜

Thank you for reading or listening. Your presence here means the world! And thank you for appreciating my little funny giraffes. I hesitate to share art as I'm still very much learning how to work with watercolor, but I believe if I push through this discomfort, I'll grow.
