Life has been busy the last few days, full of lots of good things, but leaving me without much time to write much of substance here. In my commitment to posting daily this month, it feels a bit like I’ve been dropping crumbs.¹ I have several posts that are brewing in my head, but not yet ready.² One post that will be coming up soon is thanks to my friend Sarah, who has picked me as one to carry on a meme about the writing process. I entreat you to follow these crumbs to her blog³ and sample her words. Her writing is expertly prepared, rich with buttery layers, and baked to a golden perfection.⁴ If you are like me, you will find her blog to be at once satisfying and leaving you wanting more.⁵

¹ Or scraps and the occasional shard. I admit that I do enjoy the sequence.

I like your many metaphors. Scraps, crumbs– they’re both a perfect way to think about posts one intends to write. That being said, I’m off to see what Sarah has to say about you!
Can’t wait to read what you write!
Okay now I’m hungry for a waffle. Or a croissant. Or some more footnotes. Wait, what?
