A small thing of joy I found lately ... working in this little lovely library yesterday in Sturbridge, MA.

Ah, love this. Big proponent of Practice > Product. Easier said, I know ...

I love reading a great short story, and loved this beauty in Another Chicago Magazine by New England author Kimberly Surrette ... anotherchicagomagazine.net/2024/05/30/per…

Almost done THE BEE STING and catching up on HACKS. You?

This made me laugh. I do call him "love" sometimes. I also call him riT-CHard in imitation of how my great-aunt Florence said her husband's name. He mostly calls me "B."

Probably Alice in Wonderland.

I love a book unboxing, esp. when it's a writer I admire as much as I admire Bethany Jarmul. Congratulations!

Listening to Rebecca on audio, somehow never got around to it until now ...

Big thanks to WOW! WomenOnWriting for interviewing me about @fiveminutelit! wow-womenonwriting.com/96-FE-Five-Min…

Me! Get writing, writers!

Ah, loved her last (UNLIKELY ANIMALS) and cannot wait for her next ...

I help lead a tiny nonprofit that runs clothing and toiletries closets in all of the public schools in Salem, Mass. It's time for our Seasonal Stock Up if you're feeling give-y. clothingconnection.org

Adding to my TBR. Maybe tonight ...

Favorite Halloween tradition: pre-dawn stroll through Salem with my friend K + my dog E + a giant coffee. One of the many skellies from this morning, courtesy K's phone.

I love love love Bethany Jarmul's answer to NaNoWriMo. #JustWriteNovember. I'm late to the game, but I'm jumping in. Jump in too! You have 15 minutes a day to spend writing ...

Update: Got in 1K, 50% with cat on my couch, 50% in a coffee shop waiting for an appointment. #justwritenovember

Again.

This word person was heartened by not only the size at the #salemma #handsoff but also by the clever signs. (Mine was a prosaic, heartfelt HANDS OFF LIBRARIES.)
