Writing Opportunities

Jan 5 By Marjorie

“To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive.”

~ Robert Lewis Stevenson (1850 � 1894)

The marathon continues.  My fingers are just tap-tap-tapping.  This is Soul Song I’m working on, by the way.  Kit Bell, Dela’s best friend from Tiger Eye is the heroine.  All the boys will be showing up soon.  Life is good.
