Fascinating and lovely.

When is a book of your essays arriving. I can’t wait to read it!

This is so beautiful, she says, as she gets this message on the tarmac at SFO after a 10-hour flight.

I need to go to a writers' retreat. Or organize one.

The heart is heart-shaped after all. ❤️ Love this write, and love my Jupiter colleagues. Gonna need a really big animal carrier, or a Tardis. Bumper sticker “Jupiter or bust”…

Hooray for fellow writers! Glad you had a wonderful experience. Thank you for writing so captivatingly about it. But I do feel sorry for Sam.

I'm not crying. (We're all crying.)

I am waiting on a Zoom and thought I'll just read your blog b/c it would be funny. (It was funny - especially the part about Ralph beating a metaphor to death and then pulling out the defibrillator because that is EXACTLY what he does!) I was not prepared for the honest, open, descriptive words that capture all the events and emotion of the weekend and take me right back to that place. (Cue the waterworks and declarations of "I AM A WRITER")

Okay - now to fix my mascara and come up with some story about how I've developed a sudden allergy (perhaps to one of my many new service animals?)
