I stumbled upon an author website a couple of months ago, one that has a personal blog that's surprisingly regularly updated. The author writes a hodgepodge of things, from free short stories to her writing process, and even introspective accounts of how she's handling the pandemic. I couldn't help but feel like I was sitting down and having a cup of tea with her, this stranger whom I don't know, but was able to put me at ease during a day when I felt a bit overwhelmed.
