My faithful followers will know Miranda's story. New followers can start reading it here. I know I ended the series rather abruptly (and many readers expressed their disappointment). One of the reasons was because I hope to expand the series into a novel. The question is whether I should write it in first or third person. Either will be difficult, yet cathartic.
just don't stop completely, Ms. Manning...glad to see an update..hope you are doing well,,,reckon? :)
Yes...less is more...powerful writing...and I hear the echo of that room...do we ever stop trying to create that safe place...maybe it is inside...where we are safe and free...
@glnroz: So glad to be back. I would be lying if I said I am doing well, but I reckon I'm not doing too bad, either.
