I am finding this exhilarating. So much happening at once so much getting written that would never have gotten written. I wrote a book last year and it was such a different experience to do it all alone. Maybe pros and cons, but I find that the format of Medium makes me think differently about my topic than if I were lost in my own memories and research. Today is Day Thirteen of my Blog Your Own Book Challenge. The title of today's story is Jean’s in the Kitchen: a Catering Service. I learned by doing and it worked well.

Here I'm talking about some of the details of catering. The good parts and some lessons I learned along the way. Hope you enjoy it.

“Every breath you take”.

I wrote this as a way to entertain my family while we were in lockdown. This is it's transposition to English.

Back from holidays and it seems harder than while on the road to get this done. It's done though.

My BYOBs are mostly written by characters in my novel...except on Saturdays when I step back and comment on the lessons I'm learning from the process. Excited to see what everyone's up to! https://medium.com/humor-authenticity-magic/yes-its-a-deeply-moving-song-b2ef3ede495e?source=friends_link&sk=bb9747a02f0b0a9a2bfa31b4a8478a74

For the 13th post, I'm working on identifying opportunities in travel writing. I made a list of all the trips I have taken, ever. Long trips, short trips, work-related trips, and day-trips.

I was surprised by how much I had travelled :-)

I am categorizing the trips and making notes of what I can write about.

This is work-in-progress so I don't have anything to show for it. It might take a couple of days to actually publish the 13th BYOB post.
