Hustle and Bustle

Life Happenings

After this afternoon’s critique group meeting, I’m anxious to dig into rewriting a couple of my memoir stories. In particular, I realized how much is missing from the account of my 1998 trip to South Africa. Unfortunately, necessary chores stand in my way, but I hope by Friday to be able to work on those pieces.
