What’s the longest you write in one stretch, on a good day? Me: 90 minutes. Then I need to get up, walk around, pause for a while before returning to the page. #5amwritersclub #writersky #writingcommunity #memoir

What makes a great book? When you get lost in the world of the book and the rest of life impinges on your reading time. This is the world I’m living in now for French book club. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #memoir

From watching the 9-5 musical to listening to Jolene on the day we heard my father-in-law had passed, Dolly Parton was with us this summer. What an incredible woman and inspiration showing us art, business, kindness and philanthropy can coexist. 🤍🕊️
