First reaction: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Second reaction as mature, understanding person: You've earned it, @mariannewest. Thank you for EVERYTHING. I wouldn't still be a Hiver if you hadn't been here and done what you have done. I wish you all the best in everything you put your hand to with your beautiful family!
Third reaction: I can think of no better hands to leave this great institution in than @felt.buzz and the @daily.prompt.
Thank you so much!! I do hope very much to stay in touch with you and am hoping to get my writing mojo back. I consider you my friend and will make sure to somehow stay in touch.
I am honored that you consider me your friend ... and YES, do what is necessary to reclaim that writing side of yourself, because BOY can you ever write! I remember!
Sometimes rest is the only thing for it. On my composer side, it has sometimes taken as much as a year at a time. Running a sprawling community is TOUGH. You have a LIFE, too. Take care of you, my friend... enjoy the next phase of the journey!
Thank you! ❤️
