“Precious ought to be our considerations; Precious ought to be the nature of our words — most precise; Precious ought to be the spending of Our Time.” — Joanie Adams

A proud drumroll, please, for Medium’s very own Shakespeare-ette. Joanie, with her eloquent penmanship, fashions the chaos of life into a literary work of art. Her rhetoric holds all the poetic bravado of Shakespeare, the musical finesse of Mozart, and the artistic craftsmanship of van Gogh.

Joanie is an Angel and an absolute Darling. She has been an incredibly uplifting and dear friend to me since I began my Medium journey, and I am truly grateful for her sweet friendship and support. As a fellow Founder of The Fine Rabble (our cheerful little Writer’s group), Joanie has been nothing but a spring of joy for us all!

To me, her gentle words hold all the affection and familiarity of a heroine from a Brontë or Jane Austen novel. Sometimes, it truly feels like we were good friends in a different era! A timeless friendship shared on the pages of a classical novel!
