Book Description

So I am trying to get back into writing a story that I had started years ago. I have shared it before, but have done some recent edits. Its loosely based on actual events in my life, and since I have more material to add, I figured I should try to get back into it. It was one of my favorite stories to work on because it was so easy to write, compared to the other stories I have tried working on in the past. It’s titled Languid Contentment, but that could always change. I have twenty pages so far. It is a story that experiments with Past/Present so it could get a little confusing, but I enjoy it and hope by putting some of it on this blog I can be further motivated to continue it.
