They are things that seep out of the open mind, and they need an open mind to read them.
For writing is about taking stock, about pausing, reflecting, reviewing our direction, even understanding ourselves. This is why the directionlessness is important–to let that mirror show ourselves , in the best way it can, who we are.

On Tuesday, I gave you a Leanne teaser. Today I’m giving you the rest!
I was lucky enough to be included on Leanne’s book launch team, so I got an advanced copy of Don’t Lick The Minivan. And it was really great!! I can’t wait for my “real” copy to come in the mail.
Then Leanne agreed to be my very first guest on my new podcast. And she was great in that too!!
I had a wonderful time talking to her, and I couldn’t have been more impressed, excited, thrilled and lots of other adjectives.
Basically, Leanne is pretty awesome.
(There’s a link to win a free book at the end, too!)
You guys! I was so excited to be able to interview Leanne Shirtliffe!
Super excited. You can tell when I laugh my maniacal crazy laugh, which I edited out whenever possible, and the fact that I kept shouting at her. That’s nervous crazy laugh and excited loud talking you’ll be hearing.
Sigh.
Leanne, if you let me interview you for your next book, I almost promise not to be so much like myself.
Anyway, I kept poor Leanne talking for so long, ya’ll, and she was so sweet about not just hanging up on me. She’s cool like that, you know. But since the interview ran longer than I expected, I chopped off this little bit as a kind of teaser.
Here are the questions Leanne’s super fans sent in for me to ask her:
.
Listen to the full interview on Thursday! Leanne talks about her new book Don’t Lick The Minivan, her writing process, depression, parenting twins and her upcoming project. I crazy laugh and shout all my questions.
Also!! Renee is giving away a copy of Leanne’s book. Definitely hop over to her site to read her review and find out how you can enter the drawing! RasJacobson.com

PS: Sorry Stacey for mangling your last name by sounding out every. single. syllable. What can I say? I ain’t right.
