When last we left the intrepid novelist, she did not actually consider herself a novelist. Whether I write in first person or third it doesn’t change the fact that I don’t consider myself a “novelist” or an “author” or even a “writer,” (wellllllll, maybe a writer, now that I’ve finished writing a book) and I…

Sure, just do that, go ahead and unveil your inner strengths… Continuing my chatGPT “becoming my own Gandalf” journey. Side note: I have been a Gallup Strengths facilitator for 10 years and rarely do people know their strengths.

I have a plethora of written material spread over numerous notebooks (paper and digital). Most of it should not be shared, but I’ve decided that if I see something that might help someone else take a step forward (and at the same time, to remind myself to take that same step) that I’ll share it.…
