Going to Wordpress

I've debated going to Wordpress for a while, and, well, I've finally done it. I love blogger and will miss the design I was able to put together here, but Wordpress has a more friendly interface for connecting with other writers, and anyway, my sister lives in China and can't get blogger there. So, Wordpress it is, and it's been a helpful switch.

Here's the new blog: https://alizabethworley.wordpress.com/. I've got a couple new posts up already.

As always, thank you for reading. If you have a blog you'd like me to follow, let me know! I love writing, but I love reading too.

Stay safe and sane,

-Lizzie
