Ep 80: Your Writing as a Gift

Your Writing as a Gift - Ep 80: Ann Kroeker, Writing Coach

In this season of giving, it seems apt to talk about our writing as a gift. "Hold on, now," you say.

Who We Are Becoming

Saturday night I tore off pieces of a Post-It to mark passages in Staying Put: Making a Home in a Restless World.

Wendell Berry Road Trip (Part 3 of 3)

Read Part 1 here and Part 2 here, if you like. After Wendell Berry finished reading "Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front," his handlers—an English professor or two—whisked him away to a book signing table.
