Great news!
Positive News:
Green turtles came back from the brink.
The species came off the ‘endangered’ list. It offers hope at a time when more species are being added to the IUCN’s red list.
61% of bird species are now in decline.
Coordinated actions can reverse populations at risk of extinction.

If you're a writer that's currently thinking "What am I doing with my life? How did I get here?" just know that Peter Benchley partly wrote the novel JAWS in a converted chicken coop at his in-laws' house.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.
