Biggest writing challenge I've had to overcome last few years is regaining confidence in myself: confidence that I can fix shitty series of first attempts. I started last book over like 50 times. This one,I'm keeping scene bones I know are good and going over it again, and again, til it gets clearer

Did you know the potato chip was invented in the 1850s by a chef named George Crum specifically to annoy a customer who complained that his potatoes were sliced too thin? It’s true! So let this be a reminder that great things are possible through dedication to your craft and unquenchable spite.

I’ve had two golden retrievers in my life: one was the smartest, sweetest, most loyal dog ever, and the other was what can only be described as an adorable disaster, and I’m pretty sure that’s both kinds of Golden Retrievers
