Jimmy Buffett dies on the 50th anniversary of the death of J.R.R. Tolkien. I feel like all my childhood worlds (Middle-earth and Margaritaville?) are colliding.

Grateful for songs and stories, hobbits and pirates.

It's your road, and yours alone.
Others may walk it with you,
But no one can walk it for you.

Every book I write is the hardest book to write that I have ever written. It's truly a miracle how hard they are to write. Avoid writing books if you can

Love going on @WFLA to talk travel. Today, it's a few under-the-radar destinations in the South (Daufuskie Island SC, Crystal Coast NC, Ocean Springs MS & Macon GA). Tune in here, if for the swoon-worthy Southern accents alone https://t.co/QfCHw1rXnK

I think writers need courage as well as sensitivity. I think the aim of a novel isn't to always engineer the world into a better place or to offend the least amount of people. Sometimes it's about internal truth over external reaction. Sometimes you need to write and be damned.

watching my daughters grow and fly. My old sweet dog has kept us guessing (really dog not husband) but keeps cuddling on the couch with me. Life is change and I’m drinking it in. Wishing you and your people a wonderful Thanksgiving season.

[Julie Freed PhD @JulieFreed]

This fall has been a time of change and awakening for me. I’m so thankful this season for the inspiring people in my life and academic work that pumps fresh air into my lungs every day. And grateful for roasted chestnuts in Italy, new authors discovered, great coffee with friends

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’”​ — Eleanor Roosevelt

I love buying signed books. It’s special knowing the author’s hands have touched the cover and thumbed the pages. I’m bringing more signed copies of NAKED to the Biloxi Visitors Center.
