Time for my weekly writing date. Edits, here we come! The goal today is two chapters. Feels ambitious, but I need to make up ground.

This flash fiction short story holds so many memories, from my first invitation to write in an anthology edited by @j_r_blackwell to my first vacation to explore Seattle with Matthew J. Drake to a quirky interaction with two random soldiers who walked into a romance book signing to find PJ Schnyder.

Time for my weekly writing date. There are two people at a table nearby with a stack of D&D books and the urge is strong to go over there to ask them about the game they are planning. 😅

Also! First pumpkin spice of the season.
