I’ve admired Taffy Brodesser-Akner’s writing ever since she was identified as the “mystery brunette” caught in Tom Hiddleston’s embrace. And it’s gotten to the point that if I see her byline attached to an article, I will read it. No matter what the topic. She’s that good of a writer. So I was thrilled to read that her morning routine is about as scattered as mine is.
J.K. Rowling is a goddess. This just solidifies my assumption.
Finally, Senator Tammy Duckworth is an icon. Was thrilled to see that Vogue wrote a profile on her.

Listening: Gillian Welch curated her own playlist on Spotify. And it’s sublime. Here’s one of my favorite songs:
Reading: Just started reading Kara Richardson Whitely‘s latest memoir “The Weight of Being.” As someone who has engaged in a lifelong struggle with weight, I very much appreciate Ms. Whitely’s books.
Writing Life: I did a read-through of my latest draft of Dragonfly. And it wasn’t terrible! It wasn’t great, but I’m hoping that I’ll be ready to query agents in Q1 of 2019!

What is Friday Fare? As a recap, on Fridays I post link love to the various bits of arcane shiz I discover on the Interwebs. I liken it to a glimpse into my mind, but without the 80s song lyrics or mental cobwebs.
