Book-writing is very much in progress! Choose one:
[ ] Yay!
[ ] Eeeeek!

Combatting loneliness in Italy with social streets.

I’m completely behind on my just-for-fun reading. I have positioned stacks of books in various places throughout the house (including this stash of comics), thinking I’ll feel the inspiration. Truth be told, I am exhausted by words come 8 pm which leaves just enough time for half an episode of the show about The Guy, just doing his thing in NYC alongside 8 million other people looking for connection.
Thoughts? Ideas? Recommendations? I love connecting with fellow readers, writers, parents, and humans. Please drop me a line!
