Beautiful, Deb. And that's huge. Isn't it amazing how many other projects somehow come to us like lost puppies?

Thank you! I needed to hear this. My writing has gone in too many directions - a different writing project every weekday. I need to decide which projects are mine and which projects I've allowed others to put on me.

Ooooh... homemade vanilla is THE BEST. So satisfying, isn't it? That stepping back and cleaning and finding peace powers up your batteries for future writing!

I'm glad you're enjoying it, Julia. My focus for January has been all about lightening the load for authors!

I'm starting some new ways of doing things over here, and it just all felt heavy today after a weekend of houseguests. So instead, I cleaned and made a dozen bottles of vanilla. Lololol.

I needed tangible progress.

And I am appreciating Deleyna's Drift, which has much the same 'feel'.
