Yesterday, the whole world felt on edge. Friends arguing. So many "urgent" messages. And "Did you see this?" That world is a hard world to be inspired in. So, I thought about what was working: saraharonson.substack.com/p/resolutions #writing

See you soon!!!!!!!

Today’s mindset: Early this morning, on my walk, while thinking about my story, I got some inspiration for a character. It wasn’t what I was looking for. But it was what I needed. So: Keep your eyes open! The world is generous. And please: don’t say no when someone gives you a present!

Walking and watching and looking for beauty and brand new ideas. What are you going to make today?

Good morning! Let’s get creative!

Find the momentum! Let's write together! Let's get productive!!!

Once again: the House and Senate passed a national childcare bill in 1971, sponsored by Shirley Chisholm & Bella Abzug among others — and effing Nixon vetoed it! Time to right the wrong!

This week's newsletter is a little bit personal and a lot a bit sappy, but it is as honest as it gets. I had a wonderful time in France. I will return. #nurtureyourself #nurtureyourcraft #powerofplay saraharonson.substack.com/p/discoverin...

Good morning! Pull up a chair and make something!

Tomorrow's newsletter is all about what I discovered on this extraordinary trip to France and this wonder place: www.manorandmaker.com?fbclid=PAZXh...

Monday's newsletter will be all about a few wonderful things that I rediscovered about writing in the moment. In community. At The Whole Novel Workshop. In the meantime, if you have questions about The Whole Novel Retreat, just ask!

Finishing up an amazing week in community at @highlightsfound.bsky.social and The Whole Novel Workshop. The writers stretched. The writers took chances. They wrote. And laughed. And cried. And encouraged each other. Look out. Great stories are coming!!!!

I'm at @highlightsfound.bsky.social and my brain is swirling! saraharonson.substack.com/p/a-place-fo...

Morning rituals: stretch on porch. Drink coffee. Write! #fastdraft #newidea

🤩 Looking for a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ hardcover book for $6.99 Beautifully Illustrated by @debbiepalen.bsky.social & written as a newscast by @ljrwritenow.bsky.social sharing the story of animals found in wombat burrows after the 2020 fires - 4 pages of back matter #BookSky #EduSky #Stem #Australia #fires

Today, the PT in me meets the writer I am! Let's talk about taking breaks and ergonomics. saraharonson.substack.com/p/listen-to-...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing all the kid lit postcards!!! Thank you for sharing!!

Confidence is so elusive, so I make a point to put that internal editor in a jar! I write what delights me and ignore all the expectations. I have found when Im feeling extra vulnerable, pomodoros are golden. Also: writing with others on zoom helps me feel validated and produce more words!

SLAM!!!!

The entire reason for eating oatmeal? Maple syrup. And blueberries. I am not wrong. (Let's write!!)

In a world of either/or, can we attempt to think both/and???? This week, in honor of all the reading I'm doing, a little bit on expansive thinking. saraharonson.substack.com/p/think-bigger

Great tips!! Thanks, Cheryl!

What did you make today??? How are you putting some good in the world?

Today's newsletter is all about needing help. It's not a weakness. saraharonson.substack.com/p/we-need-to...

No seatbelts! Long distance phone charges. We got directions by reading maps. Gym suits. 😬

It's not too late to sign up for an hour or two or the entire half day!!! #nofineprint

Good morning! What are you going to make today?

Can I twist your arm??????

We live in a time where responsibility and forgiveness have been replaced with smug lies. Finger pointing. Blame. Misinformation. When has that ever led to progress??????

I got this advice last week, before the bill, before the flood. "Change one thing" is what you may need to hear, too. saraharonson.substack.com/p/change-one...

Make your calls! Speak your truth! They are supposed to represent us.

UTAH! URGENT CALL TO ACTION! We are hearing that John Curtis is wavering, so LIGHT UP THOSE PHONES #VoteNO

In Summer, it is hard to stay on top of your writing. The world is distracting. But this group has helped me focus. And learn. And discover. And now you can try it for half off. Join us! Make some stuff. Make some friends. Finish your story.

One of the best parts of having a newsletter is welcoming great people to share their stories. Meet Camille Lancaster: educator, podcaster, writer, and reader. Here are her ideas about questions: saraharonson.substack.com/p/guest-post...
