It’s our SCWC Writeathon week and I’m starting late – but I’m here – because it has just been absolute hell these past several days. I’ve tried to find the pretty words to say it – and they just aren’t to be found. At the beginning of last week, two young women I’ve known since… Read more

This, one of my 62 “favorite” Joan Didion quotes, is inked on my left arm – and I’ve written before about how important her work is to me. Her influence has been great in my life and work – and she is part of my conference story this weekend as well. ❤ Before I get… Read more
