Sacred places

Today’s post is just me blogging about something that moved me.

Readers’ Expectations | The Ideal Reader

Reflection source: Readers’ Expectations (Florida Writers Association) As the FWA article explains, we writers are often told to write the story (or stories) that lie within us.
