I absolutely love "The Tumbleweed", Jenny! When it arrives in my mailbox, I’m like a kid tearing it open with excitement.
I wanted to share something about writing. You once gave me a list of books to read, and at the time, I didn’t quite grasp how much reading more would help me as a writer. But since then, I’ve devoured every book on that list and even fallen head over heels for anything by Elizabeth Strout. And guess what? I think my writing’s actually improving! I'm still a Grammarly junkie, but what can I say it helps me learn, and I feel more confident.
I’m still SUPER intimidated when I’m around other talented writers, but mad R-E-S-P-E-C-T to all of you who’ve stuck with it.
Thank you, Jenny—you rock! Oh, and tell your son he’s one lucky guy!
Kathryn, all of this is so good to hear! I know that reading all those great books is absolutely improving your writing. And I will definitely tell my son he's lucky--he's going to love that :)!
I know-- I must love it, because whenever I don't write for a long time, I feel like there's an itch in my brain that I can't scratch. So back we go, to our desks! With occasional nacho breaks.

"Before I typed that last sentence, I had a violent urge to flee my desk and fix myself a plate of nachos." LOL
Love it! Writing is hard. Writing a book is harder. Writing a great book is SO hard. We must love it if we keep doing it, no matter how hard it is.

I agree Scott it is hard!
