An extra memorable way to end one of the finest, most exciting days of this writer's life (thus far -- hang tight, my peeps). 🤩 Mad props to my Ty (@mr.cleland ) for the rad scissorwork.

ACL mug from my Anthony. Bags from my mama. Copious notes from my brain, scribbled and stored sporadically over three years. This is my passion project crop -- the raw goods gained from turning over the same plot, but for never more than an hour at a time. Seven notebooks and heaps of scraps, all filled while actually writing everything else, caring for everything else. In the margins and on reverse sides you'll find producers' notes, executives' notes, editors' notes, grocery lists, names of people to whom I may STILL owe thank you notes (thanks, really!), and the exact times contractions took my breath away. Captured here is my most favorite playground. I'm now seasoned enough to know the truth: most of the magic lives in this mess, and most of the fun, too.

Interns. Sheesh. Well-intentioned and cute, but really just a big ole distraction, amiright? #abbeyclelandlopez
An unplanned abundance of exceptional (and much beloved) Annies in the office today. #annieliebovitz #annetyler #annelamott #aynrand #annielopez #abbeyclelandlopez
Last night, approaching 3am. "The hard is what makes it great." I've always liked the quote ( #jimmydugan , played by Hanks, #aleagueoftheirown ) , but lately, as we navigate this unfathomable nonfiction, the quote keeps coming to me. It can't only be that I miss baseball.
Maybe, just maybe, I'm thinking, the hard is what makes US great. My midnight oil's run out, but I'm carrying this thought, this hopeful paradigm pivot, with me to bed.
Carry on, great people, doing so many hard things. I love us. I really do.
