It Is Done.

December 17, 2021May 31, 2023 Lucille Yates 1 Comment

I finished my novella, The Wolf and the Necromancer It is finished. It is done.

I’ve been in the same heterosexual relationship for longer than I care to share with the class. My own spot in the alphabet soup sometimes get’s muddled. People seem to forget that I choose a person, not a gender.

Though, I haven’t started writing. It’s due to the anthology group mid December.
