Running & revising in equal measure. I got my reader reports back & I'm here to myth-bust. Reviewer 2 can be nice! Reviewer 1 AND Reviewer 2 were encouraging, generous, & constructive. I'm so grateful to them, sharing their summertime w/my drafty mss and giving helpful, thoughtful feedback. #18thc

First trip to the @holburnemuseumbath.bsky.social was a treat. And since it doubles as Lady Danbury's house in #Bridgerton I couldn't not grab a copy of 'An Offer from a Gentleman.' Purely for research purposes, of course. #18thc
