*Oh you know, in the middle of things* 😊 I may need to use that. Or even: *Really well!*
I really enjoyed listening to you, Marian. Your word choices spark my mind, and your delivery is dynamic and kind and gives me an *it's all a-okay* feeling. It was such a pleasure, I can't even be envious❣
Beautiful writing as always, Marian, that brings me into the story with you right away and your feelings become mine as I go along the journey with you. In this case, maybe they were already mine. I am so grateful for you putting these words to the page.
For what it is worth, your substack about the egg race was about so much more than that (of course you know that) and remains one of my favourite posts of any substack, ever.
I am so grateful for teachers like Mr. Ursich, who without I might not be reading this right now and I so love reading your words.
'The Book of My Enemy Has Been Remaindered'...hahaha! I want to say that it's relatable, even though I have no specific enemy. But yes, as Susannah says, honest and relatable, and there is such shame attached to this envy or this fear. Thanks for writing this, Marian. x
Absolutely love this and can totally relate! We have our own journey Marian, your time will come! Love the final lines by the way - this happens to me all the time and I have to just smile through gritted teeth.

Thanks for posting, Marian. Very enjoyable read with lots of great lines. My favorite, I think (because I so relate) is: "I’d love to say that my book is coming out in the spring or autumn. And I could. Just don’t say which spring, which year."

Thank you Lauren ❤️ Another good quality about Mr Ursich was him being Canadian.
Bonus points!!!

Thanks Elaine. Yes, the shame. The only response is to be be out in the world.
So honest and relatable, Marian! Also love how you wrote this, the style and flashbacks.
Thanks Susannah. So many flashbacks to choose from. :)

Gritted teeth yet somehow not showing that Sandra.

Thanks CJ. Just say 'oh in the spring'.
