Jordache jeans play an oversized role in my adolescent memories. One of the three things I coveted the most, along with sneaker skates and the Barbie Dream House. I got the sneaker skates, at least. Congratulations on submitting! (And honestly, the bios are the WORST). I'm looking forward to following your journey!
Oh, the Barbie Dream House envy was real! And I figured all my writer friends would feel the part about the bio in their bones too. Thanks for reading!
Congratulations! Something went in! Hoping you hear back the best news, but how exciting that you just DID IT! I’m so excited to read it, what’s the big secret!? I want to know! I can relate to not wanting to publish anything until you retired, but I’m curious the reason for your why! I know you said you just didn’t want students and parents reading it, but why! What!? 👀 Me personally, if I wrote something one day, I’d be scared to hurt people’s feelings.. even my own haha! Love you so much! So exciting! See you Monday!
Thanks so much, Vicky! I appreciate your support, and I'll give you some details on Monday and share how I've thought about it over the years. It'll make sense. And you really did nail it about writing--there's a lot of thinking about other people's feelings, and the BEST writing is when it helps you see yourself more clearly. A lot of times you have to hurt your own feelings to see what the real story is, but I promise, it's good for you!
so happy for you, Lisa! this is such a huge step :') and it all gets easier from here (plus, you can recycle those first bios and cover letters!) thanks for giving the Rejections Challenge a shout-out!
Go you! Hard for me to believe this is your first go-round at submitting. I’ll be waiting for news!
The scary thing I’m stepping into at the moment is grief coaching. It feels like the next right thing for me, but that doesn’t make it any less scary. Wish me luck 🍀 (and the rewards I’m visualizing of connecting on a deeper level with folks who feel the lack of genuine support in our surface culture).
Casey, I’m sending you all my best wishes, but I know you won’t need them. This absolutely makes sense for you and I know you’ll bring comfort and connection to so many more people through this experience. ❤️

Thanks so much, Ashley! I'm not done shouting you out yet, either. 😊
Now get back to writing!!
