Not many people signed up for my summer workshops so far - would love to get a few more so we have a lively group for each session. As an incentive, if you sign up for both workshops in the next few days, you can bring along a friend. Details in my newsletter 👇 Other offers too!

Came into a coffee shop at the same time as someone else (from a different entrance). Smiled at each other, I hung back waiting for her to go first, she hung back waiting for me to go first, and then she said "Midwest standoff." First time I've heard this and I'm obsessed. #midwestnice

Okay, I'm sorry, I know everyone is probably already talking about this. But what is this absolute nonsense??? It's so embarrassing.

Literally would be impossible to be more hyped for a book 😍 So excited to read this collection by @joelhans.com!! (And I think this is a sign I need to get on socials more often, because I would've been so sad to miss the preorder!!) Order here: www.uapress.com/product/bedt...

On January 24th, my parents home burned down. They and my disabled brother escaped with only minor burns but they lost everything they've ever had. I'm running a GoFundMe to help them recover and rebuild. I would be deeply grateful for any donations but also for any shares!

Caught myself deleting an em dash from a story-in-progress so that no one would wonder if it's A.I., and—no, absolutely not, this nonsense stops here. A.I. is not stealing the em dash from us. We had it first and we'll keep using it forever. #writingcommunity #writersunite

Salt | Lindy Biller

My mother says her mouth tastes like salt. Her lips, her tongue, her teeth. It started the day my boyfriend and I moved in together, though, according to her, the timing was purely coincidental.❡

Writers, do not reread your story after you hit submit. Repeat, DO NOT REREAD YOUR STORY AFTER YOU HIT SUBMIT. (Unless you want to magically find something you should've changed the first 20 times you read it over, and then torture yourself about it for the rest of the night.) 🫠

The Bedtime Emptying of Our World by Joel Hans

At bedtime, our daughter asks for two handfuls of Crayons and a ream of computer paper. She asks for the tiny blanket we crocheted for her when she was six months old. For the doll with fidget-knot…

Each year, Christmas songs that are (maybe) supposed to be heartwarming become more and more melancholy. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" in the pandemic era when no one could see each other. "White Christmas" as we approach a rainy, 50 degree Christmas in Wisconsin.

Update: made the cookies for my kids’ cultural fest tonight! Though I’m not sure how to explain them—“they’re popular in Lebanon, though they’re not quite Lebanese, and I thought they were a family recipe, but it turns out I might’ve made the whole thing up.” Either way, delicious. 🥰🍒

I'm so excited to be teaching one more class this year: a food-themed, generative workshop at @chestnutreview.bsky.social! Come experiment with writing about food as an exploration of memory, myth-making, identity, and inheritance. I'd love to see you there! www.chestnut-review.com/product/food...

Image: A countertop crowded with jars of flour, eggshells, a plate with a small cake and fork, and a mixing bowl and whisk.

Course Title: Food as Memory, Myth, & Inheritance

Text:

Sat, Nov 25
12:00 PM - 1:30 PM EST

Location: Online event

Description: Food is deeply linked with the past, with memory, with specific people and places and family myths. In this generative workshop, we’ll read sample stories and essays that revolve around food as an exploration of memory, myth-making, and inheritance. Then we’ll use these sample pieces as inspiration for our own writing. This class will include readings, discussion, and a selection of writing prompts, as well as time to write and an optional opportunity to share your work.

Memory is so strange. I was planning to make my grandma’s coconut cherry cookies for the kids’ cultural fest at school (I was convinced they were a Lebanese thing) and my parents are telling me these cookies don’t exist?? Did I dream them???
