I have the funniest hunch today, like news/information is right around the corner, and no sense whatsoever of what said news might be about. My cat has the mojo, too, as he seems anxious and pacey about nothing in particular. So, we wait.
Ooooookay. I’ve slept some. Time to share all about Pilcrow Lit Fest. I’m going to try not to forget anything, but it might take me a few posts to get it all down.
