Thank you Mary:) It felt especially good this morning to journal. There's been so much to do that's not-writing, whether personal, family, or book business, that it is a surprise to me when I return to all the kinds of writing (journaling, drafting...) how much time it takes. But it's good time. And I am so happy to be in conversation with Jill Fordyce too. A high school friend:)
I really enjoyed reading this Shelley. I just talked to my son in Portland today and they are navigating the unusual cold in Oregon also; I'm not sure if you are aware, but my husband Karl died in May after a very brief illness. I started exploring some writing again for the first time last week. It felt exhilarating but it also kicked up some very raw feelings and I have had to take a break. I think of the old writing workshops with Kate Asche with great fondness and think of you often. Your success has been a great inspiration to me.
I love that you shared your daughter-in-law’s pic of her harvested ice garden carrots, and I love that you are journalling again. The new novel, Belonging, written by your HS friend, Jill, sounds enticing and intriguing.
This makes me glad for many reasons. Harvesting those carrots, you journaling again, and you appearing at Ruby’s Books.

Oh Julie. I am so very sorry to hear this. This is so hard. If you ever want to talk...
I’ll be thinking about that pic now too!
And open that journal!

Thank you Kori! I hope you'll read Jill's book. She's wonderful!
