📝Personal Note

Today, in the US, is Memorial Day. A day where we honor those who have died while serving our country. Often, I take for granted the freedoms I have because of those lives. I hope you will join me and take a moment to send a heartfelt thank you to those in spirit. Honor to the fallen.

Project Kwame

Over the last two weeks, I've restructured my writing time, so I will spend more time on different non-writing projects. This means that it will take even longer to finish draft two of Project Kwame, but I am okay with that. I will take it day by day and listen to the muse.

I moved my editing appointment to September so I could adjust my balance between projects. As soon as I changed that date, writing flowed better, which led me to write 3000 additional words in the 2nd draft. That makes me officially 7% complete with draft two.

Koh Sang, Thailand, is the perfect place to hide.

When one of the dive student turns up dead, her world crashes down, someone knows who she is and wants justice.
