Blog, , , , ,

SandraToday I’m thrilled to have Australian author, Sandra Peut, as our Write Life guest blogger. Sandra’s writing is characteristically upbeat and fresh (a lot like her really 🙂 ) and today she’s taking a festive approach to her Write Life reflections – twelve days of them in fact. So warm up your larynx and join us for some ‘write’ fun!
