Some good ones last week.
There were! Have a great week, Alex.
I’m always better for having stopped by here, Elizabeth, for my weekly Writing 101 course. I like the fact that there are several here about finding creativity, inspiration, and the ‘juice’ to get going, even if one’s short on time.
Important, since most of us are short on time! Have a happy week, Margot.
Thank you for the shout out! Now, back to that last chapter…
Good luck!
