What I try to explain to people is that writing a book is hard and sometimes miserable and editing a book is hard and sometimes miserable but then once in a while everything crystallizes and you can see how to make it really good and it’s the best feeling in the world. That’s where I am right now.

Haven’t had any success at befriending a crow or a raven… YET… but I think the pigeons that lurk near the grocery store I go to are starting to recognize me and the peanuts I give them and they are so stinking cute

It makes me genuinely emotional that animals like to play, that play is kind of inherent to life.
Friend Fran Rutkovsky posted these lovely armadillo photos from her yard in Tallahassee. Armadillos *love* water and will take hilarious baths.
