Hey freelancers, it's about one month from the time when you can submit those invoices in order to get paid before christmas. So,if you haven't already, it might be a good idea to start planning backwards from that. Sorry, but I hope that helps someone.

According to Facebook, 3 years ago today I finished writing my 50th novel.

I am now in the middle of my 60th. 😊

There is a story of a widow woman & her daughters, Snow White & Rose Red, the most darling little girls who had ever lived.

This is not—quite—that story.
