Finished

My absence can be explained. I *finished* the new manuscript. Well a draft. And it's been sent to my beloved Beta readers. Thank you, thank you, a million thank yous my beauteous Beta readers!

But even with her and opposing counsel’s attempts courtesy had as much probability of thriving in this divorce settlement as a rose in a dung heap. Civility and her best friend courtesy walked right out the door when Sonia caught Albie in bed with his newest girlfriend.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, leave a comment.
