I've just hit 60,000 words with my draft novel! It's a lovely feeling even if there are thousands of words left to go. 🌞 Why not share a small writing milestone of your own? Could we all do with more positive, creative news? 🦋

Congratulations to @VWC_Writes !!
I've been quiet, but busy BTS – among creative duties, editing the next book 'In the Blueprint of her Iris' ❤️🔥 A powerful hybrid synergy & labour of love. My poems paired with stunning art by @frede_kenter. So grateful to @IcefloeP for care, convergence & process. More soon!
Fred and I carry the papers into the shop. He shows me a couple of photos of bad parking on his phone. The shop’s burglar alarm goes off, then stops. Doug arrives later on Saturdays.
Very chuffed to join extraordinary Under the Basho this week, tremendously grateful to accomplished editor Marilyn Ashbaugh (+visionary e-i-c Don Baird, terrific co-founder+webmaster Stephen Bailey) for generously allowing work to debut in their haiku section w/this verse today!!
