About Things I've Learned:

This is a personal newsletter where I explore:

• Things I’ve learned about writing and the creative life;
• Useful books, resources, and articles that have helped me along the way;
• Sources of inspiration that keep me going.

Why Things I’ve Learned?

I’m a recovering creative. I've avoided being a writer most of my life because I couldn’t figure out how to make it work for me. My unconventional path meant that I’ve started over, more than once. It’s taken a while, but I’m slowly building the creative life I want to live now.

While I feel my journey has only begun, I realized I’ve learned a lot from others, and also by trial and error. Suddenly, I found myself with a collection of resources and information that could be useful for people who are on their own creative/writing journey.

To be clear, everything you’ll find here has probably been said a million times, and this has prevented me from sharing anything online for a looooong time. I mean, who cares what I have to say; hasn’t everything been said already? Isn’t there enough junk content on the Internet?

But I’ve learned that:

• We often need to hear things repeatedly before it sinks in;
• Sometimes, it just takes another perspective, angle, or viewpoint to understand something;
• Timing is everything; maybe today is the day you need to hear that one nugget of wisdom. Or maybe it will be tomorrow or next year.

Many generous people have shared their experiences and knowledge online, which have helped me in my journey; this newsletter is a way of paying it forward.

I might include essays, work-in-progress, and other behind-the-scenes info and updates on my writing practice in the future, but for now, I hope these little tidbits can serve you. If they do, please share with others! If not, you can always unsubscribe.

Happy writing, happy creating!
