Hang onto that Kael quote. When times are tough, try to shut out the noise and remember how much you love writing.

Great to run into you at the museum today. I’m sure you were percolating new ideas, whereas I was working on seeing the work through the eyes of a 4 year old and could only realize how much more of the world he sees!

HI Abi. I've just joined Bluesky. I sent you an email through Kathleen, but suspect you didn't get it. I LOVE what you did for LOOKING AT THE SKY! Looking forward to working together when the book comes out. I'm pretty excited!

HI Sarah. Huge congratulations on the Lane Anderson. My book, A Planet is a Poem, is nominated in the youth category. I hope to have a chance to meet you in Toronto in January!
