Margin Notes
Margin Notes is a cottage sheltered under an open book, with a ribbon bookmark for a roof, a pencil standing by the door and a cup of coffee steaming on the step.
Margo, the margin wanderer, lives in the spaces around the words. Margo has left a note in the margin, and it says the unfinished part might be the most interesting bit.
Stop by when a draft is half finished, the coffee has cooled and the next sentence refuses to arrive. Margo will leave a little room for you to write it.
