It’s reassuring to see that even Dorothy Parker sometimes had those days, as demonstrated by this telegram she sent to her editor in 1945.

Reassuring, indeed. (Love the spelling of “incompetent,” too.)

I love that she says she has “a pile of paper covered with the wrong words”! Thanks for sharing

Praise

For In Need of a Good Wife:
“...McNees weaves a hopeful, compelling story of love and resilience so engaging it is impossible to put down."
— Robin Oliveira, author of My Name Is Mary Sutter

For The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott:
“…The Lost Summer is the kind of romantic tale to which Alcott herself was parial, one in which love is important but not a solution to life’s difficulties. Devotees of Little Women will flock to this story with pleasure.”

— The Washington Post
