Be Bold with this Sweater

Happy Monday, ladies.  Winter is really here in Athens, and by “really”, I mean really.  We had snow yesterday!  A rare event down here, and all the more reason to bundle up.  With winter in full swing, it’s really easy to get stuck in neutral.  I’ve said it before, but it’s worth bringing up again.  […] The post Be Bold with this Sweater appeared first on Style At A Certain Age.

   I love being an author. It’s all about where your characters lead you. I start with a general idea. As the story unfolds, I type as fast as I can in hopes I keep up with my characters.
