Some of those books aren't to my liking, so I take too long to finish them.J.H.

I'm mostly reading my own stuff these days, trying to make cohesive tales out of books sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, *and* nineteen of my novelette series. I'm starting to think pairing down all the horrible exposition will result in three stories instead of four. We shall see. Thanks for well wishes on my friend's bid for a writing fellowship and kind words toward my books' potential logo. Best wishes on your writing and be well!Darla M Sandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212760625717298992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-24330977321518583362017-12-09T06:55:37.252-08:002017-12-09T06:55:37.252-08:00I love getting lost in a good book.
