CONTINUING TO WRITEI’m an obliger. I need accountability to get things done. In the words of Gretchen Rubin, who first coined the term “obliger” in her research on responses to expectations, an obliger’s motto is:“You can count on me, and I’m counting on you to count on me.”I recently revisited Rubin’s book The Four Tendencies as I was preparing for my upcoming class on writing routines (which begins this Wednesday: SIGN UP).

📣 My new class on writing routines begins Wednesday, May 7. Sign up. FINDING TIME TO WRITELast week, I had the grand pleasure of teaching the creative writing students at my local arts high school. I started class by asking: “How many of you think it’s easier to write during the school year than it is over the summer?”I had a feeling that every single student would raise their hands. And I was right. That old adage about giving a job to a busy person? It’s even true among teenagers.

A ROUTINE OF ONE’S OWNToday, I am positively thrilled to announce and open enrollment for a brand new three-week class called A Routine of One’s Own. This class will help you define and refine a joyful writing routine: one that actually works for you. Creating this class has been a joy. I’m proud of the writing routine I’ve built and maintained for myself, but it wasn’t easy, and I learned a lot along the way.

HAPPY ALMOST SPRINGHello my honeybees! 🍯 Busy busy over here as I get ready to head to Los Angeles for the AWP Conference with Rose Books & Morning Writing Club. If you’re unfamiliar: AWP is a tremendous writing conference that meets every year in a different city. How tremendous? Around 12,000 writers attend. Some call it overwhelming. I call it pretty stinkin’ fun. But then again, I’m an extrovert who loves being around writers more than almost anything.
