IWSG: Endings

December 1 question – In your writing, what stresses you the most? What delights you? When I first read this question, I was working on the ending of my NaNo novel (I just typed THE END about 30 minutes ago and am coming up for air.) One of my favorite authors Saint Paul the Apostle […]

IWSG: New Improved Resolutions

Happy New Year and Happy IWSG Day! Hard to believe 2018 is here. Not sure about everyone else but here in the Northeast U.S. it’s been super cold and now they’re throwing out scary words like “bomb” to describe the weather. Fortunately, I’m not on the coast but the cold has made getting out of […]
