I've always been surrounded by greatness. People that are gifted, smart and in this case we can add thoughtful to the list. These arrived today. Sent by people who used to live next door. They wanted to congratulate me on my published novel. Jesus said to treat others like you would want to be treated. This is definitely the treat I'd want. Thank you, dear neighbors who live too far away now. I miss your notes and little gifts that would arrive on my doorstep every holiday. Whimsical things like books, poems, a stuffed Paddington that now graces my bookshelf, and of course chocolates.  

Working on second novel in the company of my first novel to remind me that it can be done again. Celebratory treats involved.

    I've recently discovered that I needed to up my game.  I'm no grammar queen. As a word nerd, this has become unacceptable. My commas appear randomly, and when they are supposed to make an appearance, they come up missing.  I've decided to become a grammar expert. I want to know all the terms and what they do. So, I am  sending myself to 'Grammar School.'  How about you? Is there an area in your current  profession that you'd like to improve upon?
