Just a reminder that if you're in a place that does daylight saving, your times are no longer "standard time" (EST, CST, etc.) and are now "daylight time" (EDT, CDT).

Me to my authors: no dangling participles! Can we cut the weird ellipses here? This is internet-speak, which is normal online, but maybe not in a print book?

Also me, freaking out to their best work: SO MUCH YES! ME LOVE! THISSSS!

I’ve often said that publishing requires a lot ego strength. Yeah, that’s psych terminology. If you don’t know what I mean, then you are blessed and maybe you can share some. 🙂🙂🙂

From @annehelen’s article +new book I can’t wait to read: “We love to talk about kids’ personalities…We don’t grow out of those characteristics so much as subsume them with duties…We must preserve those inclinations toward delight and whimsy” https://t.co/iyyX06H4UB
