I'm expecting a delivery of a book, Swiffer pads, and a duster for my baseboards and I'm most excited about the duster for my baseboards. I don't even recognize myself anymore.

I would love to speak to women over fifty who are co-housing with other women for community and financial stability for an article I'm writing. If that's you send me a DM.

Why yes it's Monday morning and I need to write the articles I've pitched but instead I'm writing more pitches.

Just chatting with another writer about how difficult it is to pitch article ideas while simultaneously watching democracy die.

Where is my writing coven on Blue Sky? The witches of pitches are doing this workshop once again to help writers nail down their cover copy, which will help them better understand their narrative arc, inciting incident, and how to write the dreaded elevator pitch. Email us with any questions.

My friend and I decided that we are going to rage clean each other's houses together and just scream at one another the whole time but not take offense because just straight up rage cleaning isn't enough anymore.

No one is talking about Luigi anymore, but today I got a bill for a routine colonoscopy and the hospital billed my insurance $24,000. I asked how they justify this and they said that the real cost is $250 but the insurance won't pay that unless they bill an astronomical amount.

Finding a surgeon and navigating our healthcare system can be so stressful, especially during a health scare. I wrote a step by step guide for finding a top surgeon, including questions to ask and what to bring to the appointment. Snacks are on the list. www.oprahdaily.com/life/health/...

Who has been through the college admission process as a parent supporting their kids? I never thought it would be this stressful. The system needs to change. I wrote about it for US News and World. www.usnews.com/opinion/arti...

Sometimes I wonder if all the teenagers work for an international spy agency where they can only check in with their parents in code by responding to texts with one letter, K

As a healthcare writer I have so many thoughts on the insurance industry and I'm sorry this is what it took for people to start sharing their stories. We've been putting up with this broken system for too long. What can we do to facilitate real change?

Did you know that most doctors spend an average of 13 mins with patients? Docs I interview say that patients are so worried they won't get through all their questions they often forget to listen to the answers. Going to the doc for care shouldn't cause more anxiety because of time constraints.

Apparently it's physically impossible for me to start a new article without chips. Also I'm out of chips.

Menopause means sleeping with four different blankets of varying weights, kicking them off one by one in the middle of the night and then slowly pulling them all back over you in the early hours of morning when you wake up freezing.

I've been hearing memoir is hard to sell for years, but people want to hear unique and compelling stories. Remember, the people who get published are the ones who don't give up.

ok butterflies or whatever we're calling ourselves here, explain to me like I'm five how to export my twitter followers to this app. Actually if you know a five year old that can do this for me, that would be great too. I need my tweeps back!
