Danita, it's all too much. I was in CA the week of the fires, but was 2 hours south so was far from danger but still was so triggered - I can't even imagine how you could ever get your nerves to calm down after what you've all been through out there. And then, yes, the new President has sent more people into panic attacks and therapy than I can count. It's a lot for all of us to get through right now. Happy we have each other. Sending huge hugs, and yes 100% with you on your upcoming stories!

Wow Danita, thanks for being vulnerable and sharing with us how it was to experience the fires first hand. I can't imagine how stressful and nerve-wracking that must have been. This really was a wtf January. I'm with you. Let's just use Feb to start over!

I'm really looking forward to following along with your novel progress on Substack this year. We are overdue for a chat! Would love to talk soon.

Danita, I’m up for anything you write. Consider laying out undocumented historical figures and publish fiction using those who could have interacted with each other. Write from your happy place. You have my email. I would love to give you the names of two major Black men who have the scope to launch a series. I don’t have the research skills to write it. You do!
