Just finished cycling 85 miles! Exhausted, but at least I’m not sitting at my computer hunched over my keyboard. I should be good for the next year. Small wins 🙌

Write that thing. Pluck it outta your soul with rusty pliers. Hit the keyboard like it owes you money. Write whenever, wherever you can. Tell your story. Make the words dance. Whatever you want—a novel, a short story, an agent, a movie—it all starts with the writing.

If you are truly stumped for what book to get someone special try this...
Get them a copy of your favorite book & some stationary. Include in the book a letter that tells them what it means to you & invites them into a 2-person letter-writing book club, making the gift something that builds!

Instead of working on editing my book, I watched my dog chase his tail. I laughed at how easily he was entertained. Then I realized I sat and watched him chase his tail.

Name a book you’ve read more than once. It’s been a few years since I read The Girl on the Train, it’s like the first time. There’s a comfort in reading a favourite, knowing it’s a fab read!
Speaking of comfort, stay safe in this storm! There’s no better day to curl up with a book, brew & biscuit.
