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 or learning.

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.

Beyond that, I’m executive director of National Novel Writing Month and the co-founder of 100 Word Story.

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. 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:

• All the Comfort Sin Can Provide

• Fissures

• Nothing Short of 100: Selected Tales from 100 Word Story

I like talking about the creative life as well. I co-host of the podcast Write-minded.
