But each deed you do, each act, binds you to itself and to its consequences, and makes you act again and yet again. Then very seldom do you come upon a space, a time like this, between act and act, when you may stop and simply be. Or wonder who, after all, you are.
A week or so ago, I was looking for a couple books by an author from 10 and 15 years ago and my library didn't have them. I requested them via a library form. Today I got a notification in Libby that they purchased both titles. Asking your library for writers' books is an amazing way to support us.

Why was I up before 6 this morning when I could have slept till 7:30? I woke up with a story basically writing itself in my head. It’s set in the Kingdom of Corn and involves exiled monarchs from the Flying Kingdom and the Kingdom of Quiet (where it is loud). 🤷🏻♀️🥱

I saw a new doctor today. She found out I’m a writer and asked what I have out. I shared my book title and SHE HAS READ MY BOOK. This has never happened to me before. She said it was recommended in a teacher book group she is a part of (she used to be a teacher).

I’m teaching Omelas today and I just reread it to have it fresh going into class. It never gets less gut-wrenching.
A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.
