I’m Doing a Thirty-one Day Blog Your Own Book Challenge
The second week is harder.

Perhaps I should show you a picture of my uncleaned house or the weeds in my garden. But I went with the rainbow picture, sure my efforts will yield benefits despite all the difficulties along the way. This daily writing and publishing is definitely taking up a good deal of my time. But I am happy with the shape my story is taking and proud that I’ve made it this far. I was having a panic attack in the night about getting the next twelve done but, hey, I went back to sleep.
