Oh my gosh, Sara…. what an incredible endorsement. When I first started reading this, I started to laugh because I was up on teacher mode thinking, “you should be working on that agent submission,” Lol… and “don’t you have surgery to prepare for? You shouldn’t be straining your eyes.”
I suppose at the end of the day I’m all in. People who are “all in”writers are my friends and fellows. Among them…YOU! ✍️ A true writer is someone who knows the craft is incredibly hard and gets to work. Again that’s you.
Can’t wait to meet you in person in Paris very soon. Thank you for your hard work as a writer. And your heart on the page. It’s an honor.
Jennifer, her book is wonderful! I cannot put it down, having started it yesterday afternoon and am nearly finished, underlining, comments in the side margins and all. I need to enroll in your Flight School.
Have been reading her substack and agree with you on her effectiveness in writing. Your endorsement of her helping you makes me want to approach her classes about just wanting to embrace daily journal writing, which I put off for days... don't really know why, so have to reconstruct events... thank you for this substack entry.
Having a mentor is a huge help! I never found one for my own writing not that I even knew it was possible. My ex, and English prof and poet, encouraged but did not really help me. I started painting, playing at it as I have always done with writing, until I met my painting mentor, Peter Marin!! That has made all the difference. Now I feel I can call myself an artist. I still love writing!!
