I am playing catch-up with our daily posts for #writerfriendschallenge.

The twist in my writing is showing that while these women were geniuses, they were also flawed humans like the rest of us. Day 2: My goal for July is to complete my 3rd rewrite of my George Sand novel. While my goal for #campnanowrimo is 25,000 words because of editing and fact checking, I’m hoping to write a lot more.
