I am having a good week so far. What does “getting a lot of work done” mean?

With the rain, I am indoors writing. It has been a productive week so far. I am not complaining. 😊

Writing is an art form not unlike a roaring fire. Once you ignite the wood, it’s something one must enjoy while it’s hot & colorful. Good luck with the progress.

She died in a car accident in 2000, along with our 9 year old son. In another lifetime.

Your compassion for the plight of others is amazing. I’m so sorry that you had to let them go…far too early. I do understand “another lifetime”. Thank you for sharing. Namaste.

Hi, Steve! Thank you. I have cut my posts to just Mondays and Thursdays, because I am really busy with editing my next two books and preparing to take Ken on the next “leg” of his stop motion journey. I’m still here! I’m just busy “behind the scenes”. Hope you are having a great week!

Thanks for checking in, Tanya! I’m just back from a vacation to Washington and Oregon. It was nice to get away for a week. Glad to hear you are busy and plan for more movies, etc.! Best of everything for your two new books, and be easy on Ken!
Enjoy your day…
🙂
