“I don’t want my nipples in the New York Times.” — Things you only hear while coaching essay writers to get more real and play on bigger stages #WritersLife

Grateful to have one of my favorite travel stories get picked up in @reedmagazine! 🥳 #writingcommunity #amwriting #writingcoach #freelancewriters #publishedwriters #writersofinstagram #writerwins #freelancewriters #writingwints

Next Wednesday I'll be spilling an unhinged story at The Tortured Bloggers Department reading series! Come hear me and other writers share tales that'll make you laugh, cringe, and feel seen. 6:30PM, Brooklyn. 🖤 Tickets:

It's always lovely to run into my students while I'm out and about. At one of Sue Shapiro's book parties, I ran into Clarissa, who took my personal essay class. Don't we look stunning in our all-black NYC chic? 🖤 #writingcommunity #amwriting

📖 Above Ground by Clint Smith

We feel weird talking to ourselves, but only if it's positive. We'll berate ourselves all day and not think twice. What's up with that? 🤔 #WritingCommunity

Olympic athletes talk to themselves before competing. They hype themselves up. Why aren't we doing the same with our writing? 🏃‍♀️✍️ #WritingTips

Keep iterating. You can revise your life as much as you can your writing. 📝 #WriterLife

There's a cost to living in New York, and there's a cost to not living in New York. Sometimes the price of not following your dreams is higher than the price of chasing them. 🗽 #WriterLife #Motivation #DreamBig

Preordered my friend @ruackerman's new book. I can't wait to read her story later this year. 📖

Tell a writer to ‘work,’ and we’ll hustle. Tell us to ‘play,’ and we panic. Julia Cameron taught me this: creativity isn’t just output—it’s input. So, 2025? I’m scheduling joy like it’s a deadline. ✨
