I’ve decided, after many mornings of deliberation, to rewrite the book. Strangely, I’m excited and feel at peace with the decision.
Also, here’s a few pictures I took from our recent trip to Paris. Hope you all enjoy and have peace in your life. ❤️

Older work I did with Alfred. A friend in Knoxville, TN. www.rmcgillphotos.com/blog-1 — I’ve been on a long, sporadic hiatus from non-fiction, public writing. I’m also beginning a new era where I don’t predominantly use pseudonyms.

I met my favorite living author a few weeks ago. We got to chatting and at the end, he ripped his agent’s information from his notebook and told me to send my book. Now I hate my book and can’t stop finding small things to ‘fix’ Just send the damn thing!

As we drove further, the blooming flowers of the higher elevations, mountain laurel, rhododendron, burst into existence like some searing need for the earth to show its beauty. As if we should apologize for being amongst it all. --

Snippet from ‘The Social Outings’ - an experimental literary fiction/memoir hybrid. Just started the query process, which is always a lovely experience.
