Well, 2020 has been a bummer. I think everyone has felt it at least a little bit. But it can't all be bad, so my question is, have you had any good things happen out of the blue this year? I don't know if I'm necessarily asking for writing things, but I guess I just wanted to throw a thread out there and focus on the positive for a second.
For me, I had one really pleasant surprise and it was kind of thanks to the pandemic, weird as it is. My lawyer friend who has helped me with editing books in the past wrote me one day and said, hey, I've got a two week self quarantine after traveling, do you have any books that need an edit? And I was like, yeeesss! I guess I never thought about it before getting into the publishing thing, but having a friend who proofreads legal documents all day has really been awesome. She gets through a book in the time it takes me to edit like 20 pages.
