My brother just published his second book. I can’t say how proud or how happy I am for him. He’s not just a writer, he’s an author.

At first I found it pretty weird that I was a pretty consistent writer during those two months in quarantine. I always found inspiration while I was at home all day yet I was out of it pretty soon after I started working again in mid May.
