Being a writer means coming to the terrible realization that thinking about your story doesn’t actually count as writing

Me too

Why writers are a little WEIRD: -We know random facts about getting away with murder -We wear pajamas all-day -We don't sleep -We talk to other personalities we call "characters" -We say we're always writing, yet our word count never changes -Coffee is life -We don't go outside

Excited!!

Here’s your plan for tomorrow: - Wake up - Make art - Pay it forward - Be unstoppable

Writing is hard because in your heart you have an amazing story, but your brain has no idea what it’s about

This would not be time or money wasted for any writer I know. I'm looking at YOU.

A must read from an emerging writer.

I’ve been talking with female friends and colleagues about changing and making changes, and was inspired to put together a list of the books I've read about middle age and transformations. What books might you recommend? amygoldmacher.com/blog/a-middle-…

What have you written lately? What have *I* written lately? Not much. I think about writing a lot. I strategize about writing a lot. That’s a lot of mental real estate dedicated to thinking about writing instead of writing. What do *you* do about it?

Proud to have a piece in monkeybicycle. Thanks to James Tate Hill moved to Bluesky at same handle!

I am so, so happy/proud/excited to be on this list! Terms & Conditions, forthcoming from Big in fall 2026!
