Wonderful. And that gorgeous pic of you. The drapes, the sofa, the glass, Kojak. Perfect 70s setting

Jeff, I think everybody in the 70s had that sofa! Thanks for reading. 💜

Good words, Charlotte! Back when writers were on fire for Twitter, I remember reading tweets of discouragement regarding nominations. Not so much anymore, thanks to the eXodus of many writers to bluer skies. Social media does have a way of putting us all back in high school!

I remember that, too, and I’m not seeing it in Twitter anymore, either. Another very notable thing I don’t see on Twitter anymore is the awful cancel culture. That’s a big plus in my book!

A sense of place is so critical to a good story, isn't it? Thanks for the list and the priceless support of those writers who are simply busy writing.
