Hi Diane - You mentioned the BISG site in today’s guest post. I looked there but couldn’t find the lists of the genres and sub-genres. I’d like to see those if you can direct me to it. Thank you for all you give back to writers with your time and services David M Goodman Sr.

Getting here kind of late, but I've had a rather long weird day. I'm hoping that tomorrow will be less weird.

I think you will enjoy my #IWSG post tomorrow (Wednesday)--I thought it was a rather sly move.
