What are you reading?
Right now, I’m reading and rereading Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail, which is a comfort read for me—a sapphic romance novel. It’s interesting to go outside of my usual genres; I never read romance novels until very recently. At the same time, I’m reading a forthcoming memoir by Morgan Parker. What are you reading, and how are you feeling/thinking about it?

@Lacie Braun definitely adding Andrea to my TBR list! Thank you for the recommendation! Do you think there's a specific book/work I should check out first?

@Rebecca Erlewein I caved and bought a copy at my local bookstore (and it was a signed copy!), I was reading it for a book club so I needed it in time. The line was similarly long for my library 😅

This sounds awesome, thanks for posting the link!
Writing Tools
What are some of everyone’s favorite writing tools—pens, pencils, programs, things to help focus, etc.? Over the last few years I’ve found myself incredibly fond of .25mm pens because I press so hard on the page (I think it may be a mobility thing), but I also love Evernote. I’m not good at keeping organized, but I find the notes less intimidating than a Word doc.

@Danne Jobin any updates on the Qwerkywriter keyboard? I've also thought about it. I just cleaned up my home work desk so I might reward myself for actually upholding the illusion of an organized life haha
The Shape of Your Memoir
Hi all, I’m currently sick with a cold and life is still chaos for my family (my husband has been critically ill in the hospital for seven weeks), but I’m very excited to announce that I’ll be teaching a class called The Shape of Your Memoir this month on January 27, 2025. The Shape of Your Memoir is a transformative 1.5-hour class designed to help you uncover and refine the narrative structure of your memoir and/or essay. Whether you’re just beginning or deep into the drafting process, this class will guide you in identifying and addressing cracks in the foundation of your storytelling. You’ll learn how to move beyond a simple chronological recounting of events and shape your writing into a compelling narrative with a beginning, middle, and end—one that resonates with readers and leaves them deeply satisfied. Through practical insights, real-life examples, and actionable tools, you’ll explore how to create a gentle map for your memoir, allowing the story’s natural shape to emerge as you write. As a bonus, the class includes a one-hour co-working session, giving you the chance to apply what you’ve learned, ask questions, and receive real-time support. Join us to transform your collection of facts and anecdotes into a meaningful, cohesive story that captivates readers from start to finish. Recording and transcript available. http://www.esmewang.com/shape-of-your-memoir x esmé
