I loved Our Country Friends - what a hilarious satire of country life mid-pandemic 🤣 You’ll appreciate it so much living upstate! Such a great reframe on morning pages too -- yay for introvert morning quiet sneaking around so we sustain it for as long as humanely possible!!!! And for a blissfully quiet house + blank Notion page ready to capture what wants to be said :))

Our Country Friends was sooo good! Such a great read. And now that the weather is turning chillier up here I'm definitely feeling the call to return back to those early morning quiet hours of writing.

I love this. I recently bought a Dolly Parton prayer candle at a consignment shop, and now when it's time for me to get into deep focus mode, I light the Dolly candle. It's my favorite ritual.

It's also a signal to my teenager to please leave me the hell alone for 40 minutes while I write. :) Boundaries are life.

YES - I love lighting a candle or some incense to set the scene for a writing session. (Though my husband will scrunch his nose at the smell of the incense, ha!) And cheers to boundaries - love that your candle is a signal to your teenager. Thank you for reading!
