Hello lovely Cottage Creatives! It's nearly the end of the day for me and the start for many of you. Life is like a rollercoaster for me - one week is calm and creative, and the next can be crazy and chaotic! On the second not much creating can happen and that's ok. I do try to invest time in learning something her on skool from the likes of @Sharon Jones who is a wealth of wisdom when it comes to skool business and I've been sneaking into @Diana Berryman's classroom too, she's just added some content which is worth checking out, and I've also been over to @Deb Boutzetis community and learnt how to make a yummy sauce! (it's a secret!). However, as far as actually creating myself, it's been a no-go zone! So, to help me thru this Crazy Chaos week, I'd love to know what you are creating or focusing on! Oh, I did dig up some little potatoes!

Welcome @Marja-Kristiina Vihervaara is a writer and wants to write fiction besides other texts. Looking forward to seeing you win and get those books written! I'm still trying to finish mine, a memoir! It's a long one!
