AN OPERATIC WEEK

It really does feel like I am spending all my time in a theatre. And it’s marvellous. Yes, I am aware of how much energy is sapped and how I feel so unfit because my limbs ache when I do the usual daily walking et cetera – but these are the risks I chose when …

7 Quick Takes about Worldbuilding, Much Jazz, and Critiquing

Another Friday sharing our weeks at Conversion Diary. ~1~ If last week was busy, this week trumped it by tempting me with more things to do and threatening me with the compulsory works and such.
