Really looking forward to this! With a book chapter (long since crafted!) coming out in Nov, now is the perfect time to get started on something new. Very lucky to have @IWWNetwork members. From our Sept session alone I have received so many recommended reads. Time to use them!
Excited to announce that our second virtual #writinggroup will meet on Sat 19th Oct. Each month we each set a writing goal, no matter how big or small, and work together virtually on a Teams meeting for a short few hours to start the weekend right. All welcome! #IWWN #AutumnFun
