Tomorrow, I’m teaching an online class for ClarionWest. Few things in life bring me as much joy as helping writers progress in their journey. Honestly, I enjoy teaching more than actually writing most days bc when I teach, people ask questions that spark ideas in my mind, & pondering is the best.

After my sister died, I couldn't think of how to write about books. It felt weird not having that conversation with her. This writeathon helped me find the way to reading and writing about books in the same way I would talk about them with my sister. For this, I'm thankful. #clarionwest #writeathon
