I might have signed up to this app called Masterclass so I can get one year access to writing sessions with my fave authors: Margaret Atwood, Amy Tan, Salman Rushdie etc! I always say I'm so busy these days but all I really dream of is to write a novel or a chapter book. π

My second children's book "Who Will Save the Trees?" has a finalised manuscript and has been sent off by my publisher to the translator (it will be in Filipino and English) & the illustrator w/ hopes of publishing by 2025! It's about forests and endangered species.
