Random pic and an update (Patreon)

Good morning all! 🌞

I hope everyone is safe and well. May turned out to be quite the month for me! Coming off the back of a nasty bout of food poisoning, I tested positive for Covid early in May, and the symptoms have knocked me into a cocked hat for most of the month. I'm all better now, thankfully, and my energy levels are gradually returning to normal. I won't bore you with the details; suffice to say it wasn't a pleasant experience. Perhaps the only positive is that one of my characters will soon be getting Covid, so it should help with that. Though putting one of our very hungry ladies through the loss of taste sounds unusually cruel!

Another positive, is that getting through Covid has motivated me to be less pedantic about my writing, and to actually get my stories finished. I'm back to working on them every morning now The next chapter of The Lady Wot Lunched is so very nearly ready, as is the next episode of Life in Lockdown, which will hopefully add a bit of depth to Kari's character. And I'm still working on The Perfect Dress.

In the meantime, as a small reward for your patience here's a random picture of a very big businesswoman passing a bus stop. I created this some time ago, and still haven't settled on a character background and story idea for the pic. For now, we'll just say that I'm trying to channel her clear sense of purpose.

Stay safe. More to come soon!
