Are all those webinar replays you have meaning to watch stacking up like books on your TBR pile? How many hours of watching do you have? Let's spend a day watching the replays.
Come back and report if you find anything inspiring. I may delete a few, too.

Yesterday I gave up on a writing project because the deadline is looming and I didn't have enough pieces to complete it. I even started another project. Of course, when I woke up this morning I had the whole abandoned story worked out in my head. Those squirrely muses... #writing

Getting ready for #independentbookstoreday with a visit to Wijaya House. Books and flowers, what a fun combination. There are staff recommendations on the shelves, or you can have a blind date with a book wrapped in brown paper. Fun! Well worth it!
