There are just no records for the same."

I fell down a rabbit hole of information about this a few weeks ago when I was putting together this months blog post for my website... I started to write a bit about it but since I try to keep my posts on the shorter side, I cut it out for now...

[Catherine]

Glad you climbed out of it in time!🤓

[M.]

In a way I really didn't... I ended up starting outlines for two future posts.
Anyway on that subject what I kept was only a short tidbit of information (still a rough draft mind you):
"Aesop was a storyteller that is believed to have live in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BCE. The collection of fables credited to Aesop have continued to be reinterpreted throughout time. Aesop was thought to have live well over a hundred years before the first written version of Aesop’s fables was created."

Just finished the first chapter of my current WIP, again. This is the third re-write. But I'm liking this iteration. Dare I say, I may actually begin work on Chapter 2 today. :)

Interesting discussions:
Do dogs have accents?

[Beatrice]

Is this possible? Dogs have accents??
Wow!

[Alexis]

Of course, did you not notice my dog had an interpreter when he met your dog?

[Beatrice]

Right! When we met in the virtual dog park??

[Alexis]

Ha,ha. Yes there. 😁
