The Myth of the Perfect Writer’s Room For aspiring writers, the rooms of literary figures—Virginia Woolf, Maya Angelou, Joan Didion—are talismanic sites. But the quest to find the ideal creative space is often self-defeating, Joshua Rothm...

I've had numerous writing spaces over the years--I write about the South whether I am in the region or not--so I have had to do exactly what this article suggests: make myself at home in the very act of writing, no matter where and how it happens. #TheWritingLife

Today feels like one of my longest writing stints with almost 3000 words progress. I am building a bridge from an existing section to another section. One step at a time. #thewritinglife

I'm so excited! I've been accepted to submit a chapter for a new book that will be published sometime in 2026. All I can say is that it's about a subject that is very close to my heart. Lots of research to do, but this is going to be fun! 🤓

Be like Tarzan, be brave.
