Back from a break, I’m preparing for two projects: complete the third draft of my childhood memoir and edit a client memoir. But first this sunrise. What’s in store for you this fall? #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #memoir

Ah, thanks for the warning. I’ve been staying from taxis but will avoid buses too. I’ve been loving walking as much as possible, discovering the 19th arrondissement where I’m staying.

Visiting France this week. Starting with Paris, my former home. The WIP takes a back seat while I absorb the sights, sounds and tastes. Work? What’s work? Happy imagining, friends! #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #memoir

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

I get that! I tend to work well under a time constraint, but not too short. I need time to warm up and get lost in the writing.

Good morning, writing friends! What is the minimum amount of time you sit down to work on your manuscript? Me: 20 minutes. Shorter than that and I wait for another slot. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #memoir

It’s hard to imagine we’d one day celebrate the return of rain in England. My latest Substack is about how summer heat, grief and flatness encouraged deeper #memoir reflection. Link in comments. Happy wording, friends! #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

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. 🤍🕊️

Thank you! It’s both a drawback and a gift to be able to explore the past in a new controlled way. Taking a break is helpful. Good luck with your last push before vacation!
