Writing mornings look like this.
Cozy low light vibes, giant cup of green tea, a notebook for journaling, and a laptop in wait.

In terms of directly inspiring books, this early reader was the first introduction i had to the bittersweet ending of The Little Mermaid.

While my book, What the Sea Brings, ended up being a much lighter retelling than I first imagined, it all started here. #kidlitchat
