Writer’s Journal: Changes
Welcome back to Austen Promises and the Writer's Journal! ~~~***~~~ I’m sure I’ve written before about changes. As we all know, change is hard. At least for some of us, it is.

If you are a voracious reader like me, you have read thousands of blurbs. Some were intriguing, some not so much.
