Love all of your writing, Jane, including this one.

Secret: Teachers feel the same way on the first day of school: "Wait, I forgot how to teach."

Obviously, please don't tell anyone I said that, as I am interviewing for a new teaching position. : )

I apologize for my comment yesterday; it was unnecessary and rude. I enjoy your writing, Jane, and have for some time. Please forgive my boorishness.

Three things:

1) Thanks for the shoutout. I got seven new subscribers yesterday which is a banner day for me (somewhere big Substack just chuckled at my quaint little quarry), so you're basically an influencer now.

2) YAY PAPERBACK!

3) Extra bonus YAY for getting into the groove with the new book, however weird it feels!

Oh Jane, there is no second of all and most certainly no third of all. These are rookie mistakes for a writer. There is only one ‘of all’ and that is ‘first’. Subsequent additions are ‘secondly, thirdly’, etc.
