I am all proud of myself because I went through and edited the Introduction to my child psychology book this morning. It actually reads pretty well, with a decent balance between the silly and the serious. But I am worried about a fellow My:otter who seems to have disappeared from the site. She is fellow writer, and we used to joke about her using a "prod" to get me back to work on my book. I don't know whether to mention her by name. Do you know who I am talking about? Have you heard from her? Anyway, it is time for me to get ready for Guitar Center. It is cloudy an cool here, and it looks like it could rain, though I never count on rain in California. How has your late Wednesday been? Photo is of three of my young clients from several years ago. They were pretending to be sleeping on my office floor.

I enjoyed working with those kids. They probably don't remember me by name, but I hope they remember the fun we had together, not to mention our hiking and stacky towers and reading and math. Heh. I am sneaky.

You can send her a private message and she'll get back to you. She's taking a break from the site while she focuses on her books.

Ah, thanks for the info. I am glad she is OK. I know Maluse was a brat to me, but I miss her too.

She's taking a break to concentrate on her writing. That is a wonderful picture.

As others have said, she's taking a break and concentrating on her own books. That's good that you're continuing to work on yours.

I think I know. I didn't interact much with her, in my "past life" that'd be. Glad to hear the introduction seems good, are you going to use the photo as the cover or somewhere in the book? It's very cute!

Im not in contact with the parents of these kids, so I probably would not use this photo, though its a good one. Here's the one I took a few seconds later.

@somewitch I could put one photo on the front and one on the back. I have been in touch with some of the kids and parents I've worked with. But it would be difficult to track down these parents. I wouldn't want to use these photos without the parents' permission.

@TheHorse Yup, they were clearly pretending to be asleep! I like this one even more, adorable smiles! It would be great if you could get in touch with the parents but I get it won't be easy.

THe introduction? It's maybe a five minute read, if that. I read so many LONG books during Covid. I want to be be concise and to the point.

It has gotten so cold in Florida my cat Freddie didn't let me sleep he was glued to my side all night trying to stay warm, I have not turned the space heater on yet because I expect warmer weather to come,
