Bio for 2024
Philip is currently enjoying a state of pseudo-retirement, having left his job in April after working night shift for way too long. In all this new free time, he is focused on re-centering himself as a person on a normal schedule while also tending to long neglected dreams of writing poetry and novels. Can he make something worthwhile out of this period of voluntary unemployment? His eighth Lexpomo is a wonderful place to start.
Reason for signing up:
I can't imagine going into June without this challenge encouraging me to dig deeper into myself and the stories I long to tell.
