You may enjoy Deborah’s art and writing posts. She’s currently been writing about her newest novel (her 2nd? while trying to get a publisher for her current, but she has an agent). She shares her writing process. She’s always living ‘on the edge’ and ‘in the wild’ and greatly inspired – it really comes through in her writing. I have a feeling that you might be able to relate as you are preparing…. ? For more in-depth writing? I won’t get there for a while, I have much too much on my plate. I better get back to my cooking and then it’s class time. ❤
