So, I’ve come to start Chapter Six and from my original notes, helpfully titled ‘Overview,’ I have only two plot points to cover. One immediately relevant as following on from Chapter Five, the other having nothing at all to do with… Read More ›

Bumps In The Road – Again!
Milestone! Well, I’m at a milestone point. About two hours after getting my single Word document broken up into the five chapters and loaded into Google Docs for my new Chromebook – a process simpler than I’d expected – I’m… Read More ›
Breaking Spring
