Love your newsletters and the way you share about your life. Congratulations on finishing your books! Incredible! Remember our encounters well at leadership durham, long time ago! I have also heard about Andrea through some of my former triathlon friends in NC and would love to read her book.

I usually get back into it through a friend who enthusiastically tells me about a book I HAVE to read! But also, just watch some TV, go to an art museum, listen to music. Books will be there when you get back.

First, CONGRATULATIONS on finishing *TWO* manuscripts -- holy bananagrams, woman!! I love love love your writing and can't wait to dive into (and promote) your work. I totally get the disenchantment with the book sausage (been there, done that), but I'm sure it'll come back -- maybe read fiction, something that you can't compare with your own not-yet-published project? That is my problem, anyway. Sending much love and thanks for sharing our book :)

Hi Jessica! Love your newsletter! I would like to enter the giveaway for the book Feed the Baby by Victoria Facelli. I would love to read it since I’m expecting my first baby in February 2024!❤️ I, too, have been getting back into the joy of reading since I’ve been pulled away by multiple years of grueling fertility treatments and working as a psychotherapist full time. Now that I’m in a different place, it’s been a slow reintroduction. The best way that has helped me get that joy back it by reading poetry and lots of it! I know you’re a fellow poetry reader-lover, which is great. I read at least one poem a day and sometimes that kick starts other reading or writing for myself.
