You and me both! But until we can figure out how to do that (and as a much less painful alternative lol), let's just keep reminding each other! :)

What a life Erin!

So glad to get a peek into it.

As someone who just started to write, I can feel it when you mention how you felt at home when you poured yourself into your writing.
