Do you allow yourself time to just think?
"Some people are scared of putting space in their calendar to think. Our calendars are symbols of how much we're getting done, so leaving some of that precious space 'empty' for thinking feels wasteful. Yet the most productive people I know aren't in meetings all day. They rarely declare anything 'urgent.' They attend only the … Continue reading Do you allow yourself time to just think?
Too Sick to Write?
Last week I was pretty sick. Sick enough that I skipped work and stared at the TV all day long without a shred of guilt. Sick enough that I tried to do some stretches on my living room floor and woke up down there two hours later from a very nice nap. Sick enough that … Continue reading Too Sick to Write?

But this membership isn’t taken advantage of nearly as much as some of the others. Possibly, I thought, people just don't know that it's an option. We offer the … Continue reading Share The Space
QOTD
"I don't really plan it out for the characters to have these really raw human experiences, but I think inevitably it ends up that way. In the story I want to tell, the characters end up being probably embarrassed frequently or they're in awkward situations just like in real life. I always have a desire to show people … Continue reading QOTD
