At 10,796 words, this is the longest piece I have written since I was writing Les Souers Amical. It is about motherhood and childhood as a strange and isolated pair of things. It is more than a little bit based on my mother and I, and her mother and herself. This constitutes both this month's 5,000 and next months. I will make a paid post in October charging for the second set of 5k words in this piece. However, I also have several other pieces on the go, ready for November!
Hopefully this will serve as the start of a renewed era of writing. I'm sorry I was gone for so long.
