    Just ran across a blog post I wrote for years ago, where you could win a PB critique by commenting. The # of talented writers in the comments is astounding...MANY are now multi-published authors. A fun reminder of the importance of community in this industry!

    Free writing advice: Stop not writing. Just do it—do it afraid; filled w/self doubt. Put a 1” picture frame nearby and just write what’s in it—1 passage, an idea, a memory, a possible opening. And do it really badly. Write an incredibly shitty 1st draft of this one thing. You in?

    I'm so glad for the existence of donuts, because every time I eat something unthinkable for breakfast (looking at you, Sees P-nut Crunch) I just shrug and say, "Can't be worse than a donut!"

    Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.

    I have never been prouder to see another young woman rise! Brava Brava, ! Maya Angelou is cheering—and so am I.

    “You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.”
