I’ve only ever written the short stuff. Articles, features and short stories can be completed reasonably quickly and I always told myself that with my spinal problems and butterfly attitude (flitting from one thing to another) I’d never manage anything really long. But lockdown changed so many of us. During the first I’d completed an online course on How To Draw Cartoons. Okay, after the second lesson when fellow students started sending in their work, I realised the course was for little kids. No matter. I enjoyed it and completed it.
