I've made a small but handy income over the years with my writing, but I still feel I ought to be doing something else. Like mucking out the larder, or making soup. Hang in there, and with a bit of luck the guilt will subside!Frances Garroodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614916006798375706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-14185200601357339962011-02-01T19:13:27.873+00:002011-02-01T19:13:27.873+00:00Great Idea, Frances!
