"The moon came with us!”

A behind-the-scenes note

my art wall next to my desk

Summer Seasonal Affective disorder is in full effect for me, babes. The humidity here has been ghastly. Madison has had a recent, several day stint of it. It’s the kind of weather where it feels hard to breathe when you’re outside. I have obviously limited my outdoor time (mostly to zero at the moment). It feels maddening not to go outside, though. I can look at nature, but I can’t touch it. I can’t be in it.

In other news: I’m continuing along on the book. I’m feeling a bit stumped on three of the ten chapters. I need to add more to them. The rest are all (roughly) complete. I have it in my head that I want this book to be at least 200 pages, cover to cover. I might not make it there. That has to be okay. I don’t want to write more than is needed or force anything. We shall see!

Things that have been bringing me joy as of late:

1. falling in love, when I had doubts whether it could happen for me again
