How would I even begin to quantify the other forms of research for a book? Interviews? Museum visits?? If only there was a way to easily describe it... 😂
(I could count the books, add up pages, tally interview minutes, number visits and trips. Heavens, no. That would be way too convenient 😉 )

There is nothing - nothing, I tell you! - more frightening than a blank page!
Anyone else sit down to turn an idea into an outline...a draft...an anything!... and spend the first bit just panicking?? Anyone? Just me? 😬🤦🏼♀️

I've been working on a non-writing project all year!
This is very much a learn-as-I-go hobby, and I had a big day yesterday - finally staring to quit the quilt!
Is it messy? Yes! Do I love it? Yes 😊

Might be a personal best for Number of Books Open While Drafting 😂
Thought I was leveling up when I got an actual book-holder-opener (a technical term 😉), but apparently one wasn’t enough.

Such a fantastic start to March is Reading Month!
I managed to sneak in a bit of (very cold!) sightseeing in NYC.
Then, it was off to Long Island for visits with Plainview-Old Bethpage SD. I had a great time talking with the students, and they asked some truly insightful questions!

I LOVE cranberry sauce! (It's my third favorite Thanksgiving dish - after mashed potatoes and stuffing) (and that's a ranking of food not including desserts, obviously 🙄)
Today was my first time making it! Hope it turns out okay!! 🤞
