Ironic that a former journalist is reading this. 😆
But truly, this book helped me remove a lot of unnecessary mental anguish from my life. It has helped me decide how to consume news in a healthier way.

Sometimes I slip up and go back to my old habits. That's when I start re-reading it. Do read it if you can. Especially since it's a pivotal year in terms of elections for many countries.

How did The New York Times, one of the world’s most famous and well-established publications, choose to review Geraldine DeRuiter’s ( @everywhereist) new book?

By illustrating her decapitated head on a plate, getting devoured by another woman. No, I’m not joking.

I got mad about it. I wrote about why:

#WritersCoffeeClub #19Feb Do you give your characters mannerisms? How do you do this?

Absolutely. When Amos Boudreaux ("Bayou Fire") is stressed about something, he runs his fingers through his hair ... which is unruly to begin with!
