Currently in my third week in France with my daughters. This trip is a graduation present for my oldest, but I'm understanding why writer's retreats are a thing. We are staying in a Paris suburb and it's so tranquil. Every day the singing birds wake me up & I watch the flowers bloom a little more.

Had a lot to do today, so I pulled all the stuff off of my shelves and clean them … and my desk, and under my bed… The actual todo list hasn’t changed.

I shared a version of this yesterday (different art) but as I get older, this is more and more true. Feed the body, feed the soul.

Self promotion... this is my website, but learning about intuitive eating (from a dietician) was really an important step in learning to love myself as I come. It's an ongoing journey but I'm getting there.
Learn how intuitive eating supports a sustainable lifestyle by fostering mindful, eco-friendly food choices.

The leaves on the lilac tree outside my window sound like paper crumpling as they fall. I'm reminded of how beautiful it is to let go.

I'm in the process of transferring to @thestorygraph.com and it's really great. It's quicker to use and less cluttered. You can upload your GoodReads history so you aren't really losing anything. Excited to inch away from Amazon.

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.

I'm having a moment where I feel like my new WIP is a book that I need to finish reading. And I'm thrilled that the story is captivating (to me anyway) and also annoyed that I have to keep working on it to find out how it ends.

“Write scenes” is some of my most helpful writing advice this year. Often, I’ve had ideas for stories with key scenes but I’ll get caught getting to later scenes. Write scenes, connect them later.

If you haven’t read Richard Wagamese’s “Ragged Company” you really should.
“I gave them nothing back because all I knew was the vast amount they had taken from me, robbed me of, cheated me out of, all in the name of a God whose son bore the long hair none of us were allowed to wear any more.”

I've been thinking about daily writing and writing routines. I have a mind that gets trapped in a "I should do, I don't do, I'm a failure" cycle so whenever I've tried to set a writing "routine" I've failed and then felt dejected.
