Many thanks Ben Myers.

'Independent publishing is where all the best stuff happens. Here is where the risk taskers, the dreamers and the outsiders gather. Without the indies, literature would be a blander and more homogonous place. All hail the mighty 'Moose!'

Delighted to have written 5k so far this month. At the start of the month I worried it would be hard to access my WIP after the break. Here‘s what helped:

1: Rereading the last five chapters.
2: Reviewing my research notes.
3: Relaxing and reminding myself that it’s the first draft.

Need to get my brain back into work mode now! I’m afraid I’ve relaxed too much over the break.

"The various ‘widows’, who practise such crafts as herb lore and midwifery, stand outside society in the sense that they are semi-independent women, yet they too can be asked to pay dearly for that."
