Hi friend,

I’m sending this first note a little later than I’d imagined. I’ve been back in Canada for 7 days, and today is the first day I’ve been able to properly sit at my laptop for more than 5 minutes. The first thing I want to share with you is that I DON’T KNOW HOW PARENTS DO IT. I don’t know how parents do anything, when they have small children. But for the parents who are also writers: seriously, HOW do you write?
