@AliWunderman Sorrel Weed House in Savannah. It was Revolutionary War barracks. The basement kitchen and slave quarters were especially haunted.

How I love an Art Nouveau entrance. One day, I’d like to write a book with an opening paragraph that feels like this…

Omg, this Anne Lamott...

WATCH: “Tennessee teachers, you know why I’m in my classroom on a Saturday — TN passed a law, my kids are asking if they can read books and I’m having to say NO until I catalogue everything and get it all approved.”😳

Underappreciated. Underpaid. Untrusted. #GOPTeacherShortage

I can't find who to credit for this, but this is basically how writing a book feels.

Moving from years of short form back to long makes me realize how tight my prose has gotten. All those articles are like Kegels. #amwriting #WritingCommunity

I just saw this piece and the story it told in image. Why take it down?? Art provoked emotion. That’s the point.

Apologies to those who wished to see this piece: it is no longer on display.
