ANNOUNCEMENTS

Correction: In an earlier post, I asked for Slicers to find an image and send it to Bonnie K. for her photo montage of our ideal writing spaces What Bonnie wants is our actual photos – not Google images. Please send Bonnie K. a photo of your most ideal writing space. by March 13th. Snap a photo and send it to blkdrama[at]me.com. Include a short caption with your photo.
