This is the third Insecure Writer’s Support Group post of 2024, so I’m still attempting to avoid repeating the usual gripes and writing failings. I’m aiming to steer away from …boring.

Dathliadau
Today is a double celebration in our home, so I’ve been signing off my carers with a line sketch of a daffodil.
