Left you Hanging!

Since  we gossiped last, I've gone down the rabbit hole in my writing studio  for eight solid months, traveled down memory lane in Ireland, put  together 80,000 pretty gosh-darn good words of a story, and emerged on  the other side relatively sober and sane.

The  year 2024 is the year of the Dragon! It's a time for creativity and new  ideas. Don't let it all go to your head like Smaug, though. Stay  down-to-earth and avoid being arrogant or greedy. If you're looking at  your wallet, prosperity could be on its way.
