Reminder:

A boundary isn’t a debate.
A decision doesn’t need a defense.

If NO makes someone uncomfortable, that’s their problem—
Not yours.

Spelling and vocabulary practice w/ my 7yr old daughter

Me: spell im-peck-a-bull…like when something is thoroughly perfect
7yr old: I know what impeccable means, mom. My handwriting is impeccable. I’m impeccable.

as a writer, it's amazing how deep and intimate my relationship with language is—and yet how difficult i find it to say things to, uh, people, anywhere

[Carlene Fraser @Fraser_Carlene]

Uncertainty is opportunity to create!
So be it. I will!

[Bridgerton @bridgerton]

It would seem Miss Featherington has spent plenty of time studying the eyes of Mr. Bridgerton, one can only question what will ever come of it... Find out more at the Ton's most anticipated fan event on February 14th. Bridgerton Season 3 arrives in two parts with Part 1 premiering May 16th and Part 2 on June 13th. Only on Netflix.

Being a writer means loving your work obsessively and equally wanting to drop it off the edge of a bottomless pit.
