Thanks so much for the shout Kristina - I strangely love living in chaos with kids running around and dishes piling up motivates me to write with clarity so not every aspect of my life is a mess.

And she’s cute, too! But much too young for me

I've found that to be true about humor, Kristina. Whenever I can, I use it.

Thank you!

This was friggin hilarious. That picture of Michael's kitchen reminds me of the photo of my living room with Depends boxes strewn everywhere while I was moving.

And the beach.....oooooh can I relate to "trying" to write on a beach. It sucks...even if the beach is in Jamaica. Thanks for tagging me in your note, Kristina. This was brilliant!

See? That's why I knew I needed to connect you.

I could never write the way you two do. I guess because I'm a non native but also non natives couldn't write that way.

It's a superpower.

So two powerhouses on Substack now! ❤️

Hi CJ,

I know it was a bit different. Robin is different but in a very funny way.

Humor connects. It's the glue that hold us all together. On dark days humor can help us.

My life is messy too and we need to share those messy stories more to show we're real humans. No bots.

I'm so looking forward to this! I've been fortunate enough to submit some of my posts to 'New Writer's Welcome' and love Robin's personality! Also, I agree with Robin and Michael's assessment - writing can lead to a chaotic and messy life, but we place creativity above all else! It's nice to know I'm not alone in that lol. :) Totally recommend upgrading if you can, I'm sure Robin will have loads of wisdom (and humor) to share! :)

Thanks so much for your feedback here and inside of today's session. This was last minute post ^^ since I prepared the presentation for our session.

Christie, super nice that your part of the Bootcamp. "Writing can lead to a chaotic and messy life, but we place creativity above all else!" So true. Or life is chaotic and writing even more ^^
