The Idiot Shandwich Chronicle* 02/2025

*no, this isn’t a typo. Nor is it the infamous Gordon Ramsey recipe. It’s SHandwich, not Sandwich. If you’ve never been here before, I’m Donna Shannon and I write, bind books and create pet portraits using acrylic paint, although most of it lands on my clothes. (I’m also a rabid Simpsons fanatic.)

Lilah Souza answered Donna Shannon's question: (slightly cheating with a two-fer - sorry!!) How old were you when you first started writing? What was your first project? I technically started making up my own stories at around 5 years old or something! My first “serious” writing project was something I wrote in high school that wont be seeing the light of day! 😂
