jumpstart yr creativity w intimacy & candor

Teaching my ass off this summer. Online I’m teaching my cult hit (JK) Polish & Publish Your Personal Essay, and in NYC I’m teaching Memoir 1. But I’m also really excited about this one-day-workshop in NYC: Expose Yourself: Jumpstart Your Creativity with Intimacy and Candor. Details below. Applications accepted here.  The class is through the wonderful Electric Literature and Catapult. They’re serving cocktails after our long day of work.

Just finished Sarah Hepola’s memoir BLACK OUT, as well as Ryan O’Connell’s essay collection I’M SPECIAL and Other Lives We Tell Ourselves.

My cousin sent me a rando Barnes & Noble card w $33 on it, so I bought the anthology Money Changes Everything, edited by Jenny Offill & Elissa Schappell & I Was Told There Would Be Cake by Sloane Crosley because I love devouring essay collections as I write my own.
