2022 December Writing Prompts for People with Chronic Illnesses and Disabilities

I’d meant to write an entry for the November Linkup but as usual, it seemed that I had overestimated my time and energy levels! Hopefully I get to write something for the December Writing Prompts as it falls under my favourite season. Christmas always gives me the warm, fuzzy vibes of childhood. I also try […]

January Writing Prompts for People with Chronic Illnesses & Disabilities

So we’ve taken a little break from these linkups for two months, as I was pretty much swamped with the co-ordination and organisation of the holiday giveaway!
