Runner's high is cool and all, but Writer's high? That’s next-level euphoria, like caffeine for the soul without the jitters. Nothing beats body-slamming a creative block and strutting away like a literary rockstar...

Do you think you're sitting still right now? - You're on a planet that orbitis a star at 30km/s - That star is orbiting the center of a galaxy at 230km/s - That galaxy is moving trough the universe at 600km/s. Since you started reading this, you have traveled about 3000km.

A first for me: go play poker and guy in line at cash desk pulls out my book still in its Amazon packaging from his backpack asking if I could sign it for his daughter. Made me smile all day. 🤩
