The entries are fun to read and vote on with feedback.<br />Plus, I'm currently reading Patricia Lynne's Being Human. (The IWSG Goodread's book club choice for December.) <br />And I'm scheduling debut author interviews at Operation Awesome. <br />I hope you have some fun plans for the rest of 2021. 🎄🎆⛸🥁✉🥂⛄ May your days ahead be merry and filled with positive experiences.J Lenni Dornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961335286982498158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-14118203665754121722021-12-07T18:48:03.411-05:002021-12-07T18:48:03.411-05:00Then I'd be happy too:)Then I'd be happy too:)Sandra Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814573408898140885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-40423850028297703942021-12-07T03:22:24.993-05:002021-12-07T03:22:24.993-05:00I love editing.
