On Writing: A Conversation Between Friends

My friends are writers. Not all of them, but a significant number. When you throw a bunch of writers together, they talk about books and exchange notes on craft. One of these writer friends of mine–a really close friend whom I’ve been blessed to know for ten years (!)–suggested that we record our conversation about writing and share it widely. I realize that not all of my readers know me personally, and even fewer know what I think about writing as process and form. This was my opportunity to rectify that! I’ll be sharing another piece on the topic soon. I also have another creative piece in the works that I’m eager to publish. In the meantime, however, I hope you enjoy this snippet of two nerdy friends talking about something that equally frustrates and excites them.

A Word about “On Love”

Dear Subscribers,

Yesterday, You may have received a notification that I published a new piece entitled “On Love.” If you clicked on the link sent in the notification email, you were redirected to a password protected page. Let me explain why. While working on this piece I struggled–deeply–with the language. Truth be told, I’m still working through it, revising it, trying to find a more fitting narrative voice. I wasn’t sure that the piece was worthy of sharing with a wider audience. The post was password protected so that a few friends could review it and give me feedback.

I’m still not in love with the piece (the irony, right?), but I’ve been told by a few friends that it grew on them. I hope it grows on you as well. “On Love” is now live and available for public viewing. Please take a look, if you can. As always, I’m happy to hear your thoughts.

All my best,

Sarah
