Hi everyone,

Just a note before supper to say thanks, as always, for your support. Today I crossed the 30,000 word mark today, which is a nice feeling. 

Right now the Homelanders are getting ready to leave. There have been some hardships, and they’re reeling from what they’ve lost. 

Starting a journey is always tough. You have to leave the safety of the familiar for the amorphous unknown. I’ve done a bit of it myself, and the only thing I’ve really learned is that your reasons for going have to be good enough to keep you moving forward. 

Today I’m starting to believe in what I’m writing, but that’s not really why I do it. Creativity is something that everyone has to express somehow. I’ve tried a bunch of different ways. I’ve been lucky to do a little dance, theatre, art, and music as well as writing. Each one has its unique joys and its challenges, but the sensation of connecting with creative work is constant across them all.

I wish you each something to connect to today. I hope you’re well.
