to travel overseas, to that green and pleasant land, to the home of Dickens, Shakespeare, Auden, Tolkien, Lewis, and Rowling (just to name a few)? How does one blend into the misty atmosphere, to absorb every scent and sight?
I certainly don’t have an answer.
But my flight arrives in Heathrow in exactly 23 days.
Great Britain, I am coming for you.

New JK Rowling book for adults
“Although I’ve enjoyed writing it every bit as much, my next book will be very different to the Harry Potter series, which has been published so brilliantly by Bloomsbury and my other publishers around the world. The freedom to explore new territory is a gift that Harry’s success has brought me, and with that new territory it seemed a logical progression to have a new publisher. I am delighted to have a second publishing home in Little, Brown, and a publishing team that will be a great partner in this new phase of my writing life.” [x]

I’m enjoying Anne Lamott’s writerly self-help book Bird by Bird. The experience of reading this is like having her arm draped over your shoulder while she tells you that no, there are no shortcuts, and yes, it is this hard for everyone. She also grants permission to hate everyone who pretends otherwise, so I especially like her.

Yea, you heard correctly. Grant Hensel is going to be your boss someday, so you should probably start supporting him now.
