Glad your talk went well, and the singalong sounds fun.

I’m glad you got out and about this weekend, Sue. Your church event sounds fun, if the book talk was a bit tense — although it sounds like you made the best of it! I have the odd weekend when I get out and this coming weekend will be one. My lil mom is coming to town and we’ll have dinner on Friday evening. Saturday, I’m booked in to get another tattoo and Sunday, I’ll be going, solo, to the symphony for a cello concert. It’ll be nice to be out and about!

Spoke to a friend who is now back in the US. We met as colleagues of a co-operative of therapists in London. It has been strange for her to be back in the US after 25 years in London.

It’s easier to say ‘I can’t be bothered’. We have to force ourselves to make the effort. The rewards are sure greater when we do.

I always say that gatherings of writers have a natural ice-breaker: you can start a conversation by asking, "So, what do you write?"

LOL, I have written YA novels, essays, short stories, and a book about writing. Lately my tastes have veered more into memoir and creative nonfiction. Thanks for asking! And you (other than what you've already posted on this Substack)?
