Do personal essays and memoirs matter during “dark, disturbing and dangerous times” (as Springsteen says)? The short answer: YES. The slightly longer answer: YES, MORE THAN EVER. The even longer answer can be found in today’s edition of Page Fright. And, if you’re interested in my fast-approaching Zoom writing workshop on personal essays/opinion pieces, message me asap because registration ends this Sunday and workshop starts Tuesday!
Do Personal Essays and Memoirs Matter? When, as Springsteen says, "we are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times"
02/10/2026
I'm obsessed--as a teacher, consultant, and the writer of Page Fright--with freeing writers, one fear at a time! And what’s more fear-inducing than exploring a painful subject for the first time, or boldly experimenting with style or form, or having such powerful opinions that you can barely contain your rage on the page? Free yourself from fear and perfectionism by taking my Sh*tty First Drafts workshop for essay/opinion writing. $295 for 8 weeks on Zoom, starting March 3!
What Is a "Sh*tty First Draft"? And Why You Should Write One
02/03/2026
Ever hear of "sh*tty first drafts?" Ever write one? I certainly have. I'm lifting (stealing? borrowing?) this beautiful concept from Anne Lamott in my NEW personal/opinion writing workshop. It starts March 3, from 10:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. EST and runs for 8 consecutive Tuesdays on Zoom. It's only $295 (really?!!! yes!) and even less if you register by Feb 16. Once you take perfectionism out of the equation, you may find your first drafts aren't really so sh*tty--they just need the invaluable comments from an encouraging, insightful cohort of writers and the expert feedback of yours truly. I hope you'll join us!

If you're a creative writer, which do you love more: the result or the process? This question, posed by the legendary dancer/choreographer Twyla Tharp, was valuable as I came up with my creativity model, the 5 Creative Types. And it's a question that I bring to my work with creative writing clients.
Right now I’m offering a 20/20 deal: sign up by May 20 and receive 20% off my hourly fee…forever! DM me if you’d like a free Zoom consultation to discuss how I can help you reach your writing goals!
