So many goodnesses! I love them all but that Baldwin quote is one to sit with. And how sweet of your hubby to support you that way! The art camp sounds amazingly inspiring! Will have to find that Ross Gay essay, I’ve read The Book of Joy but not his new one. Thanks for sharing all this goodness, Rebecca! 🩷

Really like all of this & VERY interested to learn “fizzy” b/c I know exactly the feeling to which it applies!

And honestly, I made up "fizzy." But of course you get it! We get each other, my friend.

I almost missed it, but a new writing instructor job for you--yay! Many congrats! Do you follow Lafayette Writers Studio? They have amazing offerings of online classes, many in CNF and the essay. Thought I'd mention it--for you as a writer but also an instructor.
