Here it is...the new addition to the wall above my computer. I've changed my writing process, and I thought a reminder might help me get back on track. Lately, I've been trying to perfect my manuscript on the first attempt, so I'm not getting as much writing done as I'd like per session.

A huge thank you to my sister (Maggie Rold) and Henry Winkler (The Fonz) for having lunch with me today. Henry (that's what he insisted I call him) had so many amazing stories and so much great life and career advice. He even did the Arthur Fonzarelli voice for a minute or two!
