Wow, not good! Take good care of that noggin - we need it to be in good shape! Wonderful news about your revisions, though. I know it's been a long process. And Spring 2025 will be here very soon. I enjoyed the revision process for my first book, though it's a University Press book, so revisions are a bit more in the author's control.
I hope the travels and moves go well. Hanging out with a dog and a pool sounds like a nice break from your hectic schedule. I did not get to send your pictures, as I had an unexpected deadline. So, just let me know when you are in your new place and I'll get them to you quickly. Maybe just in time for your Birthday!
I do miss Inspiration Station, but entirely understand your time constraints.
I'm working on the books - if I do this right, it will be plural, as my agent and I are looking to do a 2 or even 3 book deal. It's in his hands right now, but that doesn't slow me down from working on them.
My week is going fine but much better for seeing this:
“The reader can feel the energy of what was once there; a little fire that smolders between what comes before and after. That’s what I think. I hope. Writing is magical like that sometimes— full of energy. If we know our writing well enough we can feel where the energy rises and where is drops off.”
THIS is why drafting and redrafting and refining matters. Nothing is lost, even if it sometimes feels like writing = hitting one’s head against a beam (repetitively). Seriously though--I hope you are okay. I’m sure you must be to give us such a powerful insight.

I hope you're okay and there are no lasting effects of the injury. Congratulations on the book date, that's amazing! Good luck with the revision.
Congratulations, Anastasia! Enjoy New Orleans and the pool, and don't forget to celebrate your achievements every now and again. xo
