I like to think about writing. I like to think about creativity. I like to think about how the creative process informs every aspect of our lives, whether it’s parenting or leading, loving, learning—and writing, of course!

And I like to write it all down and share my thoughts and enter into a conversation with others. Because life is just one wonderful series of conversations and stories.

Beyond that, I’m the co-founder of 100 Word Story, co-host of the Write-minded podcast, co-founder of Memoir Nation (coming soon), and an Executive Producer on an upcoming TV show, America’s Next Great Author.

And I’m a writer. I wrote a book on creativity, Pep Talks for Writers: 52 Insights and Actions to Boost Your Creative Mojo, and co-authored a writing book for teens, Brave the Page. I also penned a book on flash fiction, The Art of Brevity.

My essays on creative writing have appeared in The New York Times, Poets & Writers, LitHub, Writer’s Digest, and The Writer.

I’ve also published my own fiction, including:
