I can't find the notebook where I wrote down my 2024 goals. I should take that as a sign that my goal was that I survived this year?

These books got me out of a several month long reading rut!

Who's not done Xmas shopping? This gal! Fingers crossed I figure out a gift for my parents who are the toughest people to shop for.

Thinking about the time I met the soon-to-be new lead singer of Smashmouth at a sex toy sales show

An essay about why I finally quit The Artist's Way thienkimlam.substack.com/p/tyranny-of...

As a former theater costume designer, I adored all the details in the Wicked movie. Here's a really cool behind the scenes look at designer Paul Tazewell's creative genius www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEKD...

I accidentally dipped my paintbrush into my coffee while swatching a fountain pen ink today. Oops.

We're having hot pot at home tomorrow instead of turkey. Con: no leftovers Pro: no leftovers.

If you're an ANHPI writer and want to be added to this Starter Pack, let me know!

Instead of The Artist's Way, I've been working through Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg. Her words are gentle but firm which is the encouragement I need for my writing practice.

A few notes: this is opt-in, meaning, I am only adding people who request to be added. A "starter pack" is just a list of people to follow on social media, this isn't a group that is starting up or sharing info, or anything like that. Follow and unfollow as you like.

Is there a starter pack for AAPI writers?
