After all that thinking about traveler’s journals and field journals, I think I’m going to end up sticking with an official Bullet Journal or Leuchtterm A5. It’s been 10 years since I started living in a single notebook and it’s really working for me. So some years I buy a second one; that’s okay.
Finished reading: A Caribbean Heiress in Paris by Adriana Herrera 📚
I love Adriana Herrera’s Las Leonas series so much. This is a very hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Paris, Scotland, an awesome woman running a business and taking care of her sister. Top notch. Highly recommend.
Hello friends! If you’re seeing this on BlueSky, that’s because my website automatically syndicates there. Your replies get piped back into me via Micro.blog but I only see likes when I actually log in to BlueSky, which I only do every couple of days. Happy you found me there! 💛
Finished reading: Some Writer! The Story of E. B. White by Melissa Sweet 📚
White wrote the first novels I remember reading: Stuart Little, Charlotte’s Web, and The Trumpet of the Swan. This children’s biography had me tearing up several times. Highly recommend.
💬📚 “Hang on to your hat. Hang on to your hope. And wind the clock, for tomorrow is another day.” E. B. White quoted in Some Writer! The Story of E. B. White
💬📚 “Anyone who writes down to children is simply wasting his time. You have to write up, not down. Children are demanding. They are the most attentive, curious, eager, observant, sensitive, quick, and generally congenial readers on earth…. Children are game for anything. I throw them hard words, and they backhand them over the net.” E. B. White, quotes in Some Writer! The Story of E. B. White by Melissa Sweet
Finding myself holding dear to my heart stories where people fight evil in community: Sailor Moon, Buffy Seasons 1-4 & 7.
I have scheduled a sleep study. I think I’m done for the day. I have been productive, right? (I’m also taking the kiddo to the pediatrician this afternoon.)
