I'm prepping to be an author in conversation at a bookstore event on Tuesday and was just looking up a quote from Dear Writer to reference during the talk (the idea of books as permission slips). Minutes later, your name was in my inbox with this encouraging pep talk. Such a fun coincidence that the paperback of DW is coming out that same day I was planning to mention it.

Thanks for all your many pep talks, including this one. And thanks for the permission slips we didn't know we needed but you so generously gave us anyway.

I return to Keep Moving so often. That book and When Things Fall Apart keep me sane when shit is sideways.

And you know how I feel about Past/Present/Future me framework. A game changer from one of the best to ever do it! (You) ❤️

Dear Writer is such a gem, it holds permanent residence on my shelf of craft books above my desk. Thanks for this needed pep talk!
