Drops of Inspira

  Set the Stars Alight by Amanda Dykes  &  a few other books by another favorite author. ISBN-13: 978-0764232671 Author: Amanda Dykes  ©  Bethany House Publishers; 6/1 edition (June 30, 2020) "Set the Stars Alight" by Amanda Dykes (available on Amazon.com) This is the kind of book that inspired me to write my own novels at six years-old.

Hello! This month has been chaotic with an unusual amount of planning for next month's writing project so I apologize for the silence on here. Stories aside, I do  also write poetry which is part of the reason I look forward to Poetry 15th  every month.

If, however, you feel like posting your poetry result in the comment section below know that this is a PG environment. (Please, no language or sexual content.) ...
