(Photo by tbretc.bsky.social)Listen, I’m not gonna throw my whole CV at you, but I’ve been a freelancer for a very long time and have written–or still write!–for places like The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, NPR, Esquire, the Boston Globe, the San Francisco Chronicle, and a bunch of others. I’ve written and contributed to a LOT of lists over the last fifteen years. Best of the year lists. Summer lists. Lists about (insert something) authors you should know.

I encourage you to write today. To create in whatever form you prefer, but as a reader who wants more great books and a writer who lives for this thing, I encourage you to write today. Write with a knife between your teeth. Write about that thing you rarely talk about. Write that memory as fiction so you can share a chunk of your heart with the world. Write angry. Write sad. Write instead of doomscrolling or arguing with people online. I encourage you to write today.

Listen, I promise this is about fitness, but I have to tell you a sad story first. Consider it context or whatever. My reason for writing this thing. Back in November of 2021, my good friend Petra Mayer passed away from a pulmonary embolism. Petra was my editor at NPR. She was the first editor to take a pitch from me there. She showed me how to really use the em dash. She asked for more of my voice. She was instrumental in my reviewing career.

There is a particular type of novel that is simultaneously about everything and nothing. You’ve read at least a couple of them. They’re novels that meander, that revel in minutiae, that shine a very big, very intense spotlight on common things, on small details, on relatively meaningless conversations. Writing a novel like this is relatively easy. Writing a novel like this that works is a different story.

Think of novels as animals for a second. Romance like a gazelle or a cougar. Cozies are cats. Horror is a shark or a rabid dog. Well, I’m writing a platypus with a knife.
