Today is my birthday, and I’m doing that thing of both looking back and also ahead, reflecting on the past year and where I want to go. And I’m using this space to share: This year was a mixed bag, but I did receive some good news that I can’t share yet.
I hear you on breaking up with writing. And I might've said maybe you just need a novel break, except 68K! And an anthem! Dying to know your good news, of course. Congrats on a new newsletter. Will check it out! Great song.
Reading this a day late, so Happy Belated Birthday! I know exactly how you feel about writing. And yet. 68K! And an anthem as well. No small feat.
Thank you, Kathleen! And yet indeed. Hope you can find a nice groove with your writing this summer. Thanks again!
Have a wonderful birthday!
And I hear you on frustration and contemplating looking elsewhere. Finding other outlets has been my saving grace.
Thank you! Finding other outlets is so smart. I think it will be mine for the coming year, too!
Happy birthday, Rachel! I can't wait to read each and every one of those 68k words (and learn what then anthem is ... AND learn your news) :)
Thanks, Greg! I really appreciate that... and realize how this post was veiled with so much secrecy! :)

Thank you, Sue! Writing is such an emotional rollercoaster. So many ups and downs! Hope you're feeling more ups than downs these days. Thanks again!
Please, Please, Please tell me that the name of your book is "Sitting on the porch watching ugly children go by".
Ha! No, but that would be a great title for a short story.
I love learning how writers name their files, and newNEWnew is incredible. Congrats on hitting 68K!
Thanks so much!!
