#WritersCoffeClub June 6th: What are the conventions of the genre in which you write? How strictly do you follow them?
In Spy thriller genre, I try to follow the high action and at least one plot twist. I don't follow the conventions so strictly but I'm trying to use them more in my debut novel

It has hard to believe that over the course of the last couple of weeks, I lost enough weight that I'm 291 pounds. Down from 306. It is a slow and steady race to get to my goal of 265. #type2diabietes #Kanata #Ottawa #Canada #Weightlossjourney
