@cheesemaker Right?! Claire Keegan is amazing!
@terrygrier.bsky.social Love this! I wish I were closer to join!
@GabrielCornish Ah, this is so hard. We lost our 12-year-old Boston Terrier this past week. Such a big hole they leave.
@joshuapsteele I went down the notebook rabbit hole last year after hearing a podcaster describe how he loved his Plotter notebook. I tried the Plotter (too fussy), the Traveler’s Notebook (too lumpy and wouldn’t lay flat), the Lochby FIeld Folio (the metal clasp kept thunking every time I opened it), Field Notes (too small), only to return to the notebook I’ve used consistently for the past five years (the Scribbles That Matter B5). The wide variety of notebooks available makes this a personal choice. One of the fundamental choices you have to make between your Leuchtturm and the Lochby is whether you’re a Lumper or Splitter. @annahavron writes a wonderful Analog Office blog that helped me navigate what worked best for me. I’m a proud lumper!
@Eyebeemania I’ve definitely enjoyed the first two volumes of Manchester’s biography of Churchill. I haven’t read the Roy Jenkins one though, so I can’t compare. Might be a Churchill overload to read both (if that’s possible!).
@cliff538 Ah, you have a wonderful journey ahead of you!
@bradleyandroos Ah, thank you. I love that quote too. I heard it on the How I Write podcast, which is also an excellent source of ideas for creative writing and blogging.
