"i know that my little newsletter isn’t much, comparatively speaking, to most who write on substack." > Disagree!! This newsletter is my favorite! I enjoy your writing, honesty and thoughtfulness every week. Thank you!

I feel the same about the EOY illness and forced rest / rotting. Somehow my body just knows I need that break. Have a great CDMX bday!!! Happy birthday!

I loved The Heir Apparent! As it’s part of Reese’s Book Club I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it got optioned.

Spent most of the autumn with various types of virus myself and finally recovered - hang in there and allow yourself to convalesce!

I hope you feel better soon! A big birthday with glitter and tacos in Mexico City sounds amazing!!! What a great idea!

Happy early birthday! And echoing the thoughts of others, your writing matters and your substack is one of my favorites to receive. Your thoughtfulness is evident in your words and you put words to so many of my own feelings, which is a gift of honesty and care that you put into the world. Take care and I hope you are feeling a tad better each day!

So sorry you’re sick! I’ve also been battling a cold (mine started small on the 25th, got bad on the 28th, and only yesterday did I finally start to feel better) and being sick at the best, coziest time of the year is just the worst.

You should definitely try and see Marty Supreme in theatres! I saw an early screening a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it.

oy vey, what a LONG cold! i'm praying mine goes away by my birthday, but perhaps that's a long shot ;)

Fellow capricorn with a recent bday i spent sick - well, mine was a back injury - who also loves Gwyneth and doesn't give AF who knows it. I'm hoping you feel better soon. And yes, Marty Supreme is 100% worth seeing in the theater, on film if possible!
