It makes me want to examine closer by creating characters to see and hear from a safer distance. Distance gives perspective. The writing down gives me perspective and I hope in this way my characters give insight into situations we all face.
With blogging and my poetry it is more about commenting on those same things as myself hoping others will comment back so I increase my knowledge.
Sounds confusing but the truth is I don't know how not to write.

I often miss the warmth and laughter and family overload that is being Italian. I would bask in all of that and absorb the lilt of the language and the divine aroma of the food.
However in saying that I have quite a few favourite authors and I would enter their world simply because of the incredible men they create lol.(less)

Chilling with Books Corner, changes, and inspiration

Normally my Chilling Corner would be featuring an author for March 2023. However, for the last few months my time has been limited and probably will continue to be until the end of the year. The whole idea of support is not to withdraw it when time poor but to work with it, particularly when these authors I spotlight are so incredible and where I draw constant inspiration. But I am on a mission to

Very enjoyable

Loved the characters and the story story line with the whole series. However I found it too long and feel two books would have kept the excitement alive more. In saying this, the writing is smooth and flows well.
