September 2018 Writer’s Life: Slowly back to it [#yearofwriting]
Please subscribe to my newsletter: Self-Care For Writers. Well, I made it!

I had to get a pretty intensive surgery that means many, many months of physical therapy and recovery. So far, two and a half weeks out, I am doing okay. I am making slow but steady progress…
