How are you? I’m glad it’s cooled down here. We had a few overcast days a few days ago. Are you doing well? I haven’t had much time to do anything but work. I don’t like labor very much, but alas. At the very least, I can find some inspiration for characters.
I learned some fun facts about our mom’s name today. Did you know ‘Melanie’ only became popular because of Gone With the Wind? Before it, it was very rarely used. Before the book, mostly Roman Catholics used it, if anyone. It also means ‘black’, which fits mom very well because of her dark hair and eyes. Interesting! I wonder if Grandma and/or Pappy read Gone With the Wind. I personally haven’t. Have you?
I’ve been very tired lately, but I’m trying to get some writing done regardless. It’s fantastic how quickly some people can do stuff. What have your hobbies been since you left gymnastics? What are you into? I think you’re a great athlete. You graduated from level 2 to level 3 in a single day!
I hope I haven’t acted too sad here. It’s hard to be positive. Just keep swimming, as it were. I hope you can distract yourself as best as you can.
With love,
Alice
