I’m nervous and excited to share my latest essay and my first piece for @TheCut. Thanks to my wonderful editor @jenortiznyc for letting me share my story. I’m also grateful to my mentors @Susanshapironet and @PeterMountford for your support. #WritingCommunity #womenwriters.
After an accident and decades of anger defined how writer Lisa McCarty saw her mother and their relationship, she writes in this essay for the Cut, they’re both finally beginning to heal.

Witty, heartfelt and relatable piece by my dear friend @contactrebecca for Brevity.
I'm excited to share my @brevitymag piece about how torn we are b/w supporting the writing community we LOVE & getting to our million unread emails & CVS-receipt length to do lists. The guilt is real & so is the love! ❤️. @GuerillaMemoir #writingcommunity

Went for a hike in the woods yesterday to escape the relentless heat. Stopped by to see my majestic friend. It reminded me that — even when the world is dark, to keep looking for the light. Hope this helps you too. #WritingCommunity #mentalhealthmatters #5amwritersclub

"The real artistry comes in revision: the writer striving to make everything count. Working the lines over and over to bring the work into shapeliness, while also seeking to make the whole thing seem effortless. As if it was all just breathed out in a sigh." ~ Richard Bausch.

A series of storms rolled through yesterday. This photo was taken after the last one, on a walk. It’s a gentle reminder: everything is temporary. The sun will shine again. Keep going. ✍️ . #WritingCommunity #5amwritersclub #photography #womenwriters #keepgoing #nofilter

Beautiful and poignant essay by my dear friend, @LeibovSarah for Judith Magazine.
This week in Judith Magazine, where I'm nonfiction editor, @LeibovSarah has written a powerful essay. The Lion’s Way: A novel about Tay-Sachs leads author Sarah Leibov to uncover her grandmother’s hidden sorrow—and her own path forward.
