Hey Sarah, Namaste 🙂
I adore the fact your prose character thinks of Shakespeare at such a troubling time, and Richard III at that: one wonders if her dream has always been to become a writer? Did she pack the quill? 🙂
Have a wonderful week. Take care.
Namaste 🙂

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful week too 😊
