Pic: A gondolier in Venice

The page is no longer blank. I wrote 1,402 words today towards Daphne’s Dream.

I am enjoying the research involving Venice and Tuscany. Venice is a wonder of a city with its foundation of timbers under wood plankings and stone somehow still defying encroaching waters. I actually found a journal published in 1820 which is when my story is set. I visited Venice in 2018 and the 1820 writings mentioned landmarks that made me go, “I’ve seen that…”

PS Whoa, 2018 and 1820 are kind of like a palindrome. Same numbers at any rate. It must be a sign.
