Months ago, I was tagged to write one of those things you didn't know about me posts.  I delayed, procrastinated and then finally decided to turn it into a blog. And then I delayed, procrastinated and repeated until today. Sorry, Lisa A. that it took me so long to do this. And thank you for …

Page A Day Results

There were thirty days in April and I wrote and published something on this blog for twenty-six of them.  It is amazing what a writer or any human being can do when they challenge themselves and make a commitment.
