Today I’m grateful that I had good books to read this month (and always). Mostly I was writing instead of reading. But I did get to read this: *HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX by JK Rowling. It was the one on the shelf when I went seeking a fix to my HP...

It’s fifty degrees and sunny. It feels like fall, and it IS fall, but usually at this time of year we tend more toward... I’m grateful for a couple of weeks off in the novel-writing department. And I’m really grateful for the comments from my beta readers, which range from “Hey, that was pretty good” to “If you really want to make something of this, you’ve got some work to do[1]” and were all very helpful and much, much...
