I am giving in to the couch lately because it's the only place my back doesn't hurt. Just finished six seasons of The Resident. So good. I might couch-loll with my laptop today and work. Maybe not.
I'm on my big blue couch now indulging in your lovely writing!
I appreciate the perspectives on writers and their presence - both on and offline. After two decades of corporate marketing (and blogging so I could capture all the memories it turns out my now tween and teen kids don't give a hoot about) I'm writing here on Substack. Publishing - not that anyone is interested - feels like sliding back into the corporate world I'm still recovering from.
Happy to have a space here to start something fresh and run into talented people like you. :)
At 2pm most weekdays I make a cup of double bergamot Earl Grey with honey and milk, get comfy with a book with occasional bird feeder watching outside my window, call "Book time! Tea time!" and my cat ALWAYS comes running and jumps on my blanketed legs and together we purr for 45 minutes.
I work best on my sofa. I was without it for more than a year during my never-ending move from Rome to Venice. It is now the only real piece of furniture in the house right now. (I do have a mattress. It is on the floor) I occasionally will take a break(I love the phrase slouch-on-the couch!) from writing or email answering in the afternoon and watch the latest episode of something like Grey's Anatomy as a kind of lunch break.
I have a jar of preserved lemons downstairs, and it just started raining. I think it is time for a break!
(also, thank you for the different perspectives on platforms and book deals)
Although I do feel sympathy for a 'never-ending move,' Rome to Venice feels pretty sweet! I plan on putting together my preserved lemon jar this weekend. Thanks for reading, Gillian. xN

Feel better soon! Thank you for reading. xN

Sounds absolutely perfect! I bet the cat enjoys watching the bird feeder too! xN
