@WriterSweeney great idea!

@jacgorelick congratulations!

[ANNE LAMOTT @ANNELAMOTT]

A bit of a set back here: just got the single worst review of my life prominently featured in the New York Times, brightly illustrated for maximum visibility. Alexandra Jacob’s had a LOT of fun writing it. Feel doomed. Am going to sulk, and overeat.

[Catherine Shields @Catshields1]

@KarenDeBonis @MemoirMag That was wonderful Karen! Congratulations!

[Catherine Shields @Catshields1]

@WriterSweeney Happy Anniversary!

“figure out what you’re good at without trying, then try” is one of my all-time favourite sentiments — you’ll never get tired of doing what feels fun and easy to you, so why not *try* to make what you do indefinitely (your vocation) something you would do forever, with pleasure?

A question from business coach Jeanne Torre:

"Is that assumed or confirmed?"
