I love this book idea so much! And it’s such an important reminder. For ages I’ve been frustrated that every hobby has to become a “side hustle” and every interest is something you’re supposed to develop into a business. We need to start putting value on how much we can monetize the things we love. Cannot wait to read your perspective on it!
I am SO a dabbler! Your book looks awesome, Karen!
I think of it as "doing my art" - not necessarily painting or drawing, but doing something creative, just for me, with no end goal (aside from project completion, but even then...yeah, I often leave things unfinished, not gonna feel guilty about it). I describe it as, "That thing you love to do that, when you DO it, you say, "Ahhhhh...I should do this more!"" Do it!
Congratulations! I have gotten into birding and I'm terrible at it and I don't care! :-)
I pre-ordered your book and wanted to ask if you've done or are considering doing an audio version. I love to listen to books while I'm driving to my next rural birding spot.
Aw, thanks so much! I haven't heard if the audiobook rights have sold yet, but if they do, then yes, we'll definitely record an audiobook version. (The last two books I've done with this publisher have audiobook versions, and they did well for the audiobook publisher, so there's no reason to think it won't happen.) Stay tuned! ❤️❤️❤️
Exciting! So much to think about in this post and the cover is gorgeous! Glad you’re getting some time to just allow things to unfold with curiosity as to what they might lead to, rather than that capitalist conditioning needing the “leading to” to direct you ❤️
Screaming! Cheering!! Singing!!! Shouting!!!!!! This is the BEST news of the year yet. What a glorious cover and excellent title — preordering now. Congratulations Karen!!!!

RIGHT. And in this political day and age, Lord knows we need a way to take care of ourselves!
Thanks for your comment!

Wonderful! KEEP DOING IT. The research I found on how being a total amateur improves jut about everything related to wellbeing blew. my. mind.
