👋🏻 Attention #freelance writers, especially folks who were affected by the recent media layoffs and are looking for a reliable, fun daily gig: I’m prioritizing a search for at least three contracted writers to join my news team within Hearst’s Enthusiast Group. Details in thread.

On our way to @BiscayneNPS & @EvergladesNPS, we took a tasty trip around the equator at @fruitnspice, part of @miamidadeparks. My @fodorstravel story explains why this edible exploration emerged as a highlight of our Florida family adventure. https://t.co/MXeoun2P0P

The Essential Guide to Freelance Writing by @ZacharyPetit is one of those special few I've kept handy over the years. Practical info + plenty of humor = good read. (On Writing is another longtime fav in my resource library.) Fun @MUO_official list, @saffronclacy!

[ASJA @ASJAhq]

Some books to consider adding to your resource library.

Excited to find the latest @WritersDigest in my mailbox! It's been good fun contributing a mini memoir on the lingering impact of @ANNELAMOTT’s classic essay. (Thanks to @Cassie000000 & @AmyMJones_5 for the smart edits.) Can't wait to read the entire issue!

Thank Your Partner More

Gratitude toward one’s partner is less an individual act than a habit of noticing and re-noticing their value. Having that practice can be a significant predictor of relationship quality, writes @NicolausWriting: https://t.co/GvAT153iTw
