For all you lovely regular QRW readers, you may have noticed I was absent from the bloggy airwaves last week. Life happens, as we all know, and it doesn’t fit a schedule. A close childhood friend of someone very dear to me died last week, at a young age and after a devastating, heartbreaking battle with mortality.

After a week and weekend of the aftermath, I’m back to work and back to blogging. We’ll take up where we left off, with a weekly theme of going it alone. Tomorrow, we’ll look at solitude in freelancing and creativity, and Thursday we’ll look at introverted goodness in publishing dreams. Friday tune in for a return to word porn and ranting!

Thank you for your patience and continued reading. The best Monday to all of you.
