It won't ... at least, I don't believe it will - I've never left it long enough to find out.
There are two main reasons I love to write: I get to explore themes and ideas from the safety of my kitchen, where my desk is, and as a disabled person, with rheumatoid arthritis, I get to live vicariously through the characters, in the same way I do as a reader. However, as a writer I get to direct the characters, unless they're misbehaving and take over.(less)

Happy News Year!

2025Happy news to share

Happy New Year to you all. We’ve had gales, rain, snow and sun and we’re nine days in only. I’m looking forward to getting back into my writing theatre, on which I’ll post another time, but for now, I’ll keep writing from the warmth of our home.

I say writing. At the moment it’s all about revising, editing, and learning how to be an indie author.
