I have a piece up at @HuffPost today about what happened when I ditched my iPhone for a whole summer. I'm not anti-tech by any stretch, but I had to do *something* to rescue my mental health. It really did change my life. https://t.co/NIbzABkUuf
Today's post on play by @lindseydjones in the @brevitymag blog came just as this week's tasks in my WIP were beginning to feel like an onerous burden. Love what she has to say here.
Join me as I team up with @Sharla_R_Yates and @GuerillaMemoir for Craft Talks this coming Wednesday. Let's "knock our writing off balance," on purpose. https://t.co/Sw1WLAFTyi
My latest Substack is up. To help me think about play (again), I invoked Florence & the Machine, evolutionary psychologist Peter Gray and, a little bit reluctantly, God. https://t.co/aY5gYQst51
I so appreciate this lovely, sensitive consideration of Momfluenced, what momfluencers are selling, and how the early "mommy bloggers" shared their full humanity. Thank you @lindseydjones !
I wrote about the upsides and downsides of internet portrayals of modern motherhood for @motherwellmag, inspired by @slouisepetersen 's excellent book Momfluenced.

The worst part of every day is when I have read all my emails, responded to everyone on Instagram, checked to make sure there are no more emails, read every Substack newsletter I'm subscribed to... and finally realize there is nothing else to click. I have to write. #amwriting
My latest edition of "Worth It" is out: recommendations for a podcast with the former Dwight Schrute, some light Ishiguro reading, and a poem from David Whyte. https://t.co/Kdzo7P2qZg
My oldest daughter is 10, and smartphone decisions for her feel impossible.
Kids Who Get Smartphones Earlier Become Adults With Worse Mental Health, by @JonHaidt https://t.co/PwDtsMQ1mH
I've been hounded by the urge to ditch my smartphone, and I'm writing to figure out why. It has something to do with the exhausting fantasy of human omniscience. #substack#betweentwothings https://t.co/TZzmVRkada
In all the discourse about the kind of future AI might bring, most of us stop short of asking how we will live in the face of it. I'm thinking about that today in my latest newsletter.
