Most of the books I work on as a professional developmental editor fail for one reason: they don’t follow any kind of structure

While I've had some wonderful moments on my trip, I've found the relentless sun and lack of shade really tough
Then I found this spa just down the road and, well, it is my birthday today. So it would be rude not to

Words and pictures will never capture the sunset I watched tonight
On top of a mountain sticking out into the Irish Sea, the marine mist all blowing in. It felt like floating above the clouds

Pure magic

Ember has been struggling with his carrier training, so we got a bigger one to give him more room. Only now, Puck is OBSESSED

My brain isn't capable of much while I'm burned out, so I picked up some markers and dug out an old colouring book
It fills my head with silence, and right now that's exactly what I need

Ember was making himself very much my problem while I was trying to work and somehow thought that putting Cat TV on would help
