Let's do this!

I'm suspicious of those who don't aim to haunt a bookshop or a library. If the afterlife isn't the point you tackle the eternal 'to be read' pile I'm not sure we can ever call ourselves friends. If I am not allowed to read as a ghost there will be much trouble. – #DAKilroy #Books

Jane Austen used 'however' at the beginning of a sentence, and so can you.

My last week before a big Christmas break! May the coffee be strong and the focus be sharp!

As it turned out, that insomnia made me SUPER productive with editing yesterday!

Let's keep that momentum going! (The productivity. NOT the insomnia 😆😀)

There are two kinds of writers. 1. Those who are insane. 2. Those who are good at hiding it.
