Parents of adult girls: how old were they when they came back to you? I mean, how long before the egocentrism of 17 goes back to wherever TF it came from and who is this child and I love her but please put rum in my coffee now…

And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good. - John Steinbeck - Be Writing ~ A closeup photo of a writer's hand as they write their story by hand -- writing notebooks and a mug can be seen spread out on the table in front of them.

A first draft is really for getting just the first shape of a story along with its imperfections. So you can find and bring out the best story in later drafts.” - Wrtr #AmWriting #Writer #Author

I can’t begin to describe how meaningful this Honor is…and on this book, which I wrote at my daughter’s bedside over the course of 21 rounds of chemotherapy. STRONGER AT THE SEAMS is my debut YA novel, and I will forever be grateful to everyone who helped make this bookβ€”and this honorβ€”happen. πŸ’›πŸŽ—οΈπŸ’›

Okay writers...I know people make wishes on shooting stars, pennies, eyelashes, 11:11 (the time)...

What sorts of things have you seen or heard people wish on?
