The very best thing I've done for my writing in the last year is starting to play with a new genre. Because that's *exactly* what my writing needed: less pressure, more play. I love this for you and can't wait to hear (and read) where it takes you. <3
I’m excited to read your short story! Also: not sure if you know of Kate Spencer - she wrote a memoir after her mom died called The Dead Moms Club which I read shortly after my mom died and I loved. She has since written 3 rom-com novels (I’ve read 2 of them and enjoyed them both!) I love your writing - don’t count yourself out! ❤️
After the election last year I literally--and in full seriousness--googled something along the lines of "real life paradise island." Like Wonder Woman Paradise Island. So I already think your story is amazing.

I love this insight, Emily! Thanks for sharing and I’m so glad you’re finding joy through playing with writing. It’s just what we perfectionists need!

Ooh, thank you for this recommendation! Immediately putting holds on all these books at the library!

Have I got a story for you! You’ll be tempted to pack your bags 🤣
Noting to lose and everything to gain! Can’t wait to read it.
Truly!! Thank you, friend! ❤️
I thought your Veterans Day poem was thoughtful, and I can’t wait for next week’s story!
Along the lines of what Emily said…Chanel Miller wrote her memoir and has since written two excellent middle grade novels!
You’re not a fraud. You are a fantastic writer.
Looove Chanel Miller! Thanks for point out that she’s played with multiple types of writing! It certainly helps the brain fire on more cylinders.
