Huge congrats J - I'm forever telling people about the newsletter. Thank you for asking me to be part of 1000 days last year. Wrote a little about your book here. Come back to Ireland soon! xx https://momentsofrecognition.substack.com/p/on-synesthetic-time-and-the-clock

Enjoy all the thrills and tingles of the launch day! These lines resonated: "And I love the less than perfect ones, too. Even the mistakes are worth loving. We have to make them in order to get to the next place with our work."

There was a great (now anonymous) quote that I scratched down over 15 years ago about the need "to get certain stories out of the way." I've written four (published) books and definitely feel a freedom with each one--as though I've downloaded more content to a hard drive and can move on, again. Thanks for this post---looks like you have cute dog company to pull you on long, inspiring walks.

I'm planning to reread it the second I'm done, but first I got out my two fiction projects and worked on them this morning!
