Cross mechanical pencils and Bic Atlantis pens
Bright colored post-its and good critiques from friends
Composing a sentence that absolutely sings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream-colored journals and dark chocolate toffee
Notebooks and datebooks and French vanilla coffee
Royalty checks that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Editors in white dresses with “I LOVE IT!” satin sashes
Good reviews that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Productive white winters that write into spring
These are a few of my favorite things
When the rejections come
When the critiques sting
When I’m feeling bad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feeeeeeeeeeel soooooo baaaaaad!
MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!
Such a clever minx you are.

Kali VanBaale as a friend and critique partner is one of my favorite things.
