QUEENBOXI TUMBLR

I got a most exciting blue envelope in the mail. My friend Tamara from writers group had been collecting little images of hot air ballons and old-timey air crafts. She sent me a smorgasbord of clipping and stickers and cut-outs. It was bliss! Thank you sweet woman! #aeronauts #hotairballoons #scrapbooking (at Salamander Bay, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjGBps7hyca/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Writing Bug: my textbook project. The first draft of the manuscript is finally done! Key dates Started 4 Feb 2022 Section 1 complete 12 May Section 2 complete 25 May Section 3 complete 19 Jul Section 4 complete 23 Aug I collated and rearranged 3 years worth of notes I created for a memoir class I led. I now have one document in book format. I have been chipping away at it all year at my Wednesday night writers group (on Zoom) and in between other work. It is one of the most tedious things I've ever done. But I persisted! #longtermgoals #writingguide #process (at Salamander Bay, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChkVe4EBU3S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
