My Notes

Over here, the writing is a little shorter and more experimental than in my essays. These are my conversation starters. My digital garden of ideas I’ve planted and am tending to. There are a few common themes in my Notes.

• I keep coming back to exploring how people find their people, and intentionally build community. I share a little work I did with Write of Passage on making an online course globally accessible, and look at making friends online.

• Writing helped me navigate a difficult career change. I loved the course that taught me to write so much, I ended up working with them for years. In Notes like On Writing and Reflective Practice, and My 12 Favorite Problems, I’m writing about my writing process.

• For a long time, travel defined me. I loved walking around a new city, and watching the world go by in an unfamiliar coffee shop. I travel less now that I have an infant, but looking back, my trips to Casablanca, Louisville and the Dubai Expo all prompted me to send a postcard to my readers.

Make yourself at home in these Notes and let me know what you think.
