4. Housewife poses with a weeks’ worth of groceries in 1947. She spent a total of $12.50 a week (not including milk) to buy her groceries. On this budget, she is able to feed herself, her husband, her four-year-old twins and her cat

I started writing 3/2023. 18 on/off months, 6 drafts, and many rewrites later. My 94k murder mystery love story, The Belvedere Club, went out to its 1st beta reader. #WritingCommunity #amquerying soon.

15 tries, 20 hrs of writing, and 50 hr of thinking later, finished my synposis, ~600 words. All I did was watch a 10 min vid and wrote it in an hr. Punctuated equlibrium or quantization of life? #WritingCommmunity


My 8th attempt at a synopsis for my 96k murder mystery. Every time I start, I'd stop because it got too long. This time, I made it to the end, 3 hrs, 11.3 pages later, I have a draft. #WritingCommunity #amquerying and yes, I write in me garage, next to me zero turn.
