I've haven't been posting much because I've been busy writing biographies for my Leisure publication. I committed to writing 250 words a day, which I've done, but then the is always a question that comes up that causes me to do some research afterwards. By the time I'm finished, it's time to close up shop. Hopefully, I'll get back to more blogging soon.
