point of view
I’ve got a post up on Magical Words talking about Point of View and how to choose which one might work best for you. I typically write in third person point of view for my novels, which, in the case…
Saturday, in the house, you’d think it was the middle of winter
Windy and cold here today. Frigid really. Not that the temps were all that low, but the wind. Oh it brings temperatures down to miserable. The fire doesn’t seem to be doing enough. Girlie has been drinking juice and eating…
