I gobbled up the Ramona books as a child. It was the first time I saw a kid like myself - creative, strange, prone to chaos - in fiction. Best of all, my struggling reader self could read them all on her own. They helped me become both a reader and a writer.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

This week in ways journals annoy me -
Saying "No simultaneous subs" followed by "will not respond to rejections" and not giving a timeline as to when to stop expecting a response so my piece is infinitely caught in your slush pile.
No thanks.

I really hope my Disabled characters help other Disabled folks feel less alone and, possibly, better process their experiences. I strongly believe having context for my own experiences would have helped me better process/handle situations when I was younger.

Lots of cleaning/tidying, one and a half audio books listened to, lots of resting, slightly better meals, some baking, one phone call put off for weeks finally made.
Also, 1500 words of something that might be my next short story.

Yes! Reading for pleasure should be pleasurable. Abandon books, listen to audio books, read only graphic novels, reread books til you have to buy another copy. Whatever works for you.
