BIG NEWS: My craft-driven writing community, Sustenance, opens this January to 50 new members. We only open 2x/year and you must be on the waitlist to enroll. Not only do I teach regularly in Sustenance, but we bring in monthly guests like Ellen Bass and Chen Chen.
Last night’s replay: Curated Obsessions.

How the
