I was sat in the nicotine light of a hospital waiting room and I was the only one chuckling away while reading your post. I love your dry humour, coz if we can't laugh we will cry.
I guess she's taking the long view... if we consider the four and half billion years this planet has been around, and the thirteen odd billion years the universe has been expanding and doing stuff... then, yeah, the Palestine issue is a fleeting moment... it'll all be over in a few more millennia...
Hahaha... yes... still working on the supernova data... it seems that the expansion of the universe is slowing down, and there will be a big crunch... might as well give up... it's now backed by hard science... but I'm afraid that the Palestine issue will continue after the big crunch... can't win it all, can we?
"When I was a younger broad, I was definitely not grounded enough in who I am to take an agent’s opinions with a grain of salt, honor my own energy, and allow myself the time to figure out what I actually wanted to say and how I wanted to say it. I’m too old and evolved to abandon myself now. That’s extremely fucking cool."
There's nothing more valuable than this - and most people never get there. Trust your gut and your amazing talent. My (lovely) ex-agent didn't like my latest book but I knew it was great so rather than rework it, we parted ways. Worked out like a dream for me! Backing yourself can really pay off and even if it doesn't, the reward is that we are not writing to someone else's agenda or tastes.
Thank you so much! I am done getting caught up in other people's timelines and opinions. And I love your SUCCESS STORY! It wasn't until I wrote this that I connected the dots and realized that for the first time in my entire life I didn't question my instincts and if that's what I got from this whole maddening experience — what a gift! <333
It really is a gift. 🤩 REALLY hard to tune out the mayhem that is (online) life and expectations, as you well know! But feels so good and sane to do it!

I am sending you a big, big hug, Tina! ❤️ Lots more chuckles to come, and probably tears ... but then more chuckles!
“You mentioned Israel and Palestine in the Politics of Posting section and I don’t know how relevant that will be in a few years.”
Yeah, that whole Israel/Palestine thing is just a phase, Liz...
Everyone involved was lucky it was a call and not a Zoom because my head obviously exploded when she said that 🤗

thank you so much for doing the math!
