That is a huge milestone! Congratulations, my friend. I am glad you guys are okay, but we are definitely thinking about all those impacted by the fires.
Congratulations, Maria! I meant to comment on this amazing accomplishment on Saturday. If you're ever in need of beta readers for your novel, please let me know. Glad to hear you and family are safe from the awful fires.
Maria, thank you for sharing that video clip! And big round of applause, and lots of congratulations headed your way. You finished your first draft!! Fantastic!! What a big accomplishment!!
On another note - the fires are terrifying. Knock on wood, our home is not in danger. But there's a whole domino effect involved including schools being closed, ash settling on our patio furniture, unhealthy air quality, and an ominous sky. It feels like this should be scenes from some blockbuster movie not a reality.
Poor L.A. 😔 I know that eerie, ashen sky. It's so heartbreaking and yes, it does affect the entire city and beyond. The Thomas Fire had our schools closed for weeks due to air quality and we've had to evacuate on more than one occasion. Not as awful as losing one's home, but the ripple effect of such a catastrophe spreads far.
Thank you so much for your support and cheerleading, Wendy. I'm so glad we're connected and I'm always grateful for your kind words. Stay safe xo
