Hi Shannon,

Ahhhh. I feel like I know you; I read so much of your work. You’re a decent and kind woman! Embrace that. That is really what I thought when I first met you. And know from reading so much of your work. The amount of writing you can accomplish as a single mom is truly inspiring. I have a lot of help, and still, raising a child under good circumstances is tough.

I bet it is an emotional roller coaster. People are so kind. I’ve been following along. Best of luck. You will make your goal. Hang in there. You are too good of a writer not to write.

And seriously, if your surgery is in LA, I can drive you around if I’m in town. You could stay at my place, but it’s tiny. xoxoxo
Love,
Jessica
