Good morning, squiders! I meant to say last week (and didn’t) that I’m going to be moving to a once-a-week posting schedule for June (and maybe July, but definitely June). Now you are aware! Hooray. I went to two sessions
WriYe and Writing Retreats
HA! What are the odds? (I still am not sure about what to work on at my retreat next week. Leaning more toward a combo of revision/idea planning but haven’t given up on outlining something new to work on. Still,
