This is the best description of writers I’ve ever seen, Charlotte! I feel like you were talking to me (and I bet a lot of others do too) about not squandering the gift. I know I know! 🙄 Also— how fun you went to AWP!!

Aw, thank you, Suzanne! And I have to remind myself about not squandering the gift also. And AWP was a blast, but tiring, too!

I loved “Margo” (keep reading!) and “Anxious People” made me cry like a baby. Excuse me, I must be off now to listen to rhubarb grow. ❤️

I was wishing that the rhubarb growing could be a soundtrack to listen to while writing but it's a bit too odd and energetic. Very cool though! And because you loved "Margo" I promise I'll go finish!

I am ever so grateful for the tribe I have been adopted into. And it’s all because of you. “Please don’t ever squander it.” This is going to stick with me for the days I have difficulty getting to the page. Thank you. For everything!

You're my favorite adoptee. (Don't tell the others.) Seriously, thank you, Marna. For reading and for writing and for you consistent kindness and good humor!
