Stephanie here! I’m taking today off from blogging, because I have edits due back on Wednesday, and my focus right now is doing my best to be the scrupulous writer George Orwell describes in this quote about writing:

“A scrupulous writer, in every sentence that he writes, will ask himself at least four questions, thus: What am I trying to say? What words will express it? What image or idiom will make it clearer? Is this image fresh enough to have an effect?”

I will be back next Monday!
