When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to be an adult because I imagined that adulthood would be a time when no one would interrupt me when I was trying to read.
If I could go back in time, I would tell that little girl she has never been more wrong about anything in her life.
"If youβve ever thought to yourself, βMan, Iβd really love to get a camper, pack up my stuff, and head into the Canadian wilderness with my two cats,β then Karen Babineβs new book is going to speak to you with stunning specificity."

She looks just like the kind of teacher all the kids would have adored.
We are not alone!
Watching Love, Meghan on Netflix. I like it! Itβs no more or less awkward than Barefoot Contessa which I also like. There, I said it. Could we lay off the Sussexes?
New way to think about stress dreams: the opportunity to wake up and think, well whatever happens to me today, it probably wonβt be as bad as that.
Me: Fridayβs going to be such a productive day! 30 degree temperature drop induced headache: Not so fast!
Happy to send it, really.
On days you feel low, organizing and cuddling your old work can feel good. You will see personal growth and remember how you felt actually writing some things. You will also find writing you have zero memory of ever writing. The mystery of YOU is real. #writingcommunity #writers #inspiration
A screenshot of a news article about Artificial Intelligence, which reads: βOpenAl says it has evidence China's DeepSeek used its model to train competitor. White House Al tsar David Sacks raises possibility of alleged intellectual property theft.β
Tech bros: βSo we stole creativesβ IP on a grand scale to train our AI. So what?β
Also tech bros: βDeepSeek stole our IP! Waaaaaah!β
Karma, baby. Itβs DELICIOUS. βΊοΈ

I also pubbed a book that deals with this a lot. I still have some copies, dm me your address and Iβll send you one.
I know this may not be helpful but as a creative writing teacher, most of the people who felt they were bad writers were far from it. Itβs the people who feel theyβre already great writers we need to worry about. You may still need a break. You are just at a different stage.
This!

Just knowing it's something I might someday find is heartening. Recently discovered the regular dark chocolate bar.
Check out @heidiczerwiec.bsky.social's interview in CRAFT on the lyric essay: "all of these different lyric elementsβ¦sound or visual images, smell, or doing strange things with timeβ¦engage with the reader in a different way than a more traditional linear narrative would."

There's a BROWNIE BAR?
Interested in how this goes, please keep us posted.
It does!
All it would take would be adding, "btw. I am grateful for the partner whose health insurance allowed me to do this." Reminds me that comedian Leanne Morgan does this all the time, talking about her husband with a regular salary.
Listening to podcast with an artist I admire. How she's stayed true to her art in her long career. Unmentioned: her partner's income stability & health ins. Asking again, could we PLEASE be upfront about this? For those of us who ARE the partners with the health insurance etc.w/out such flexibility.
New substack: Sources to help you determine what it would cost to live in France.
Grr. Everybody meets on Monday nights, when I teach.
Writing Tip:
Consider drawing your world. You don't have to be an epic artist to do this, just create a rough map of where things are geographically. A visual representation can really help iron out the details of your worldbuilding, and you can update it as you go.
