It's funny how trying to get serious about writing changes your perspective.

I used to check on new stories almost daily, but now I feel like I haven't earned that privilege because I haven't done my writing homework.

Actually, there are a lot of factors including work, other projects and Covid-19.

But I was surprised and honored to learn the first part of The Princess of Venda had won third place in the recent contest.

Thanks to all of you who read it and voted for it.

So I've been trying to get a bit more written as many days as I can.

I know where I want the plot to go. It's just spending the time get the words from my head to the computer.

So I've posted part 2 and will try not to take as long for part 3.

I hope you enjoy it.
