Game Shows Are My Not-So-Guilty Pleasure A little lightness, a little melancholy on today's Substack, Write It Like It Is: Everyday Observations and Existential Musings.

I was delighted to do this interview on Jeff Ikler's "Getting Unstuck: Cultivating Curiosity" series. Jeff is an educator, career coach, and all-around lovely person. We talk about my writing journey from young diarist to published author and Substacker to memoirist in search of a publisher.

"Essayists are perpetually having an internal conversation among the three selves: writer, narrator, editor. The hardest part is learning how to lean into the narrator more than the writer, and to avoid eye contact with the editor." ~ Olga Katsovskiy brevity.wordpress.com/2024/11/15/t...

Glad to be here. Looking forward to connecting with other writers!
