Hi, Reader! Here’s what I’m up to NOW.

WRITING, MOSTLY.

When people ask me what I’m up to these days my answer is the same as it’s been since I was like 12: Writing, mostly. 

• Here’s my latest essay, on why I left social media: Only the Best Cake
• In August I had the best time writing for Fringe of Colour Responses. I wrote this this guide to mindful at-home viewing set-ups and got to write about something I’ve been musing about for quite a while: Unpacking the loaded question of ‘Where Are You From?’.

MAKING FUN THINGS!

• I’m printing out essays to mail to my patrons, and doodling in the margins of them. I also printed some extra copies for the Heroine Training bookshop.
• I’m still making my way through Jane Austen’s novels, writing letters along the way for Letters From Jane Austen. I just started Pride & Prejudice – it is a bop of a novel.

LEADING:

• Everyday Wonderland, a membership for finding wonder where you already are, away from screens.
• The Art Life, a podcast about process over product and being an artist in the digital age. We’re about to celebrate our one year anniversary!

And I’m also…

• Obsessing over the new adaptation of The Baby-Sitters Club on Netflix!! We’ll be covering it on What’s Your Favorite Part as a Back to School Special in September :)
• still considering getting a new Sims expansion pack but which one?
