Writers Podcast

The Easter long weekend is over. My absence was due to editing my manuscript and reading.

How did you spend your Easter weekend?

As you might be aware, I frequently do Tuesday Discussion posts. Whilst editing this post I stumbled upon a problem – each week has the same title.

The earth has made one full revolution around the sun since I began my journey on WordPress. I am overwhelmed by the amount of followers that are curious and daring enough to follow my journey and exchange thoughts and ideas.

If you have any suggestions or questions on what you would like to see, please comment below. If not I will assume you are enjoying my journey.

I’ll begin with a short story I wrote today.

Enjoy.
