alfresco, adv. We couldn’t stand the city one minute longer, so we walked right into the rent-a-car place, no reservation, and started our journey upstate. As you drove, I called around, and eventually I found us a cabin. We stopped at a supermarket and bought a week’s worth of food for two nights.     It wasn’t too cold out, so we moved the kitchen table outside. The breeze kept...

neil-gaiman: From the questions, I think it’s a safe bet to assume there are a lot of young writers reading this Tumblr. If you’re aged 18-25, and you write children’s fiction then you should check out the Hotkey Press (a new publisher, headed by Sarah Odedina, who was my editor, and J. K. Rowling’s, at…

And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” - The Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear, Dune by Frank Herbert Hanna:...

This was highly recommended to me by the littlest sister and it has been positively delightful so far. Somehow, it makes me miss borrowing books from my school library when I was a kid. This was a post by Hanna, who is about to have breakfast. She is currently reading this book.
