Taking a break

July 16, 2018


I’ve been blogging every day since October 1st of last year. (About 41 weeks. If pregnant, I’d be overdue.) When I began, I honestly wasn’t sure if I’d ever write another book again, but I wanted to, and I had this feeling that maybe, if I posted here every day, I’d get work up my chops enough that I could do it.

And I did it! A few days ago, I finished approving the copyedits for my next book. I’m rewarding myself with a few weeks off. Time to clear my head and hang out with my family. (And give a few talks.)

No blogging. No tweeting. (I will be sending out the newsletter, so if you want to hear from me, subscribe.)

Thanks, as always, for reading. See you in August.
