    Conversations. Sometimes it’s too much, sometimes too little, formal, informal, clumsy, artificial, with another word: difficult. Let’s practice, Shall we? #253 Someone is on the bus.

Someone Like Me - Co-writer wanted!

Thank you all so much for your interest in Someone Like Me, the feedback I’ve received has been enormously helpful. It’s been a very fun story to write but unfortunately it will remain unfinished….
