What's Next: The Wizard's CatI've been working on paper with a pen. It's a bit of a throw back and completely at odds with what I've done in the past. What matters is that it's working. I've made considerable progress in the last month and started stringing words together in the word processor. Fingers crossed. The SC Marva Collins (no change):Book 1:...

Status Updates: Finally, progress I can report! The last month has seen a few changes and I'm pleased to say things are moving along after stagnating for the last few weeks (ok, months).

It's still lingering in the house although most of us have recovered. What's Next: The Wizard's CatStill not there. I need some literary catnip or something.

I've had some ideas and I've had some downtime to try to let my back brain cogitate. What's Next: The Wizard's CatThe Cat is still the next thing on my word processor. It's being a cat, that is, difficult to herd. The SC Marva Collins (no change):Book 1: School Days - Published in ebook and paper. The...
