Hello Denis ~~ While it has been a while since we have chatted progress has been made on my memoir. I have written up through Chapter 7! The chapters have been reviewed and I know there is some editing to be done, but I am satisfied enough to go on and begin chapter 8!
Writing On,
Kathleen Kline
P.S.
This month will see my first collection of Short Stories going to print and up for sale, hence the break before Chapter 8.
Congratulations on your perseverance. I love to see writers with “nose to the grindstone!” Send us something for the writer’s blog when you can.
