THE END of Writing Challenge 2024
DAY 30/30 #WC24 — THE END — #writing those two #words, whether to signal the completion of a #novel or a #writing #challenge, are always fraught with ambiguity.
On the one hand, sadness that this time together has ended; on the other hand, a sense of achievement that we stayed committed and #wrote every day.

Contains some excellent advice on writing emotional fiction, with excellent, practical examples taken from a wide selection of published books. However, this good advice was buried under too much bombast and the tone was outdated. In a short 200-page ...more |

Judy, Hi, thank you so much for reaching out. I'm delighted to be a friend. I couldn't help but notice you were born in Zimbabwe. When I was a young fellow of 18, living in London, and Zimbabwe was still known as Southern Rhodesia, I went out to SR to work as an editorial assistant on a business magazine in Salisbury, as it then was. Love and blessings to you.
Thanks Judy, take care of yourself ok.......
Hello, Judy.I've just watched Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown in South Africa. I have to say, South Africa is a very interesting country. It is a very good episode.
All the best for 2012 to you and your family too, Georges!
