Robin writes with fierce courage and always make me think about tough subjects from a different perspective ... without insisting I think her way. It's a refreshing skill.
Imaginative Storm is a delightful blend of rational and imaginative ... plus they have developed a Zoom community process that is energizing, and pulls your inner writer into the fun. Try one of their Saturday or Thursday storming sessions and find pieces of you that may have been hiding.

Kathryn offers a generous, overflowing repository of information about mental health, especially as it relates to creativity and craft.
There's much I don't understand about the workings of the Universe, so I always look for sources I can trust. Deborah addresses subjects I care about and I only want to read truthful explorations of those subjects. Deborah's writings are fascinating and trustworthy.

Weedom is the kindly grandmother (or grandfather) I wish I'd had as a child ... the one who would take me on long walks through the forest or neighborhood and introduce me to the plants, telling me their names and stories about they helped ... or harmed ... us. I feel like that child when I read her(or his) posts.
Sometimes a writer takes thoughts out of your attic, dusts them off, sprinkles them with firefly magic and puts them on paper in such a way that you think he stole them when you weren't looking. Jeff's honesty and generosity often take my breath away.
Introduced through Notes with words I couldn’t … wouldn’t … believe, the “bimblings” of Josie George are like honey, at once sweet and stinging, from a fragile, water-color world laced together by a sinew-tough spirit. In the midst, super-compressed, life’s wisdom in two-words and an action bestowing me with a gift to live into.
Diverse Voices is a breath of fresh air, sharing new stories in a time when banning books is threatening to silence voices. Thank you for bringing these books to our attention.
Nina Schuyler is the English teacher you always wished for. If you’re a writer, you may never look at (or write) sentences in the same way. The magic happens when she explains an amazing sentence and then challenges you to write one. You may just surprise yourself.
Every choice is a change agent and David Nemzoff is a master of linking decisions to the consequences, whether positive or negative, through story. Where else would you understand the role of horse manure in the development of the automobile? You can count on David to unpack a story in a way that makes you see it in a new way.
He's a writer's writer, a curiosity soul's spark of curiosity, a spinner of tales and translator of science. Most of all he's fresh! Fresh thinking. Fresh words. Like having coffee with a very smart friend.
Heather Cox Richardson's bringing of history together with these strange times gives us a long view perspective and kept many of us sane during the turmoil. She is the best possible history teacher and gives our current situation her deep attention. Thank you, Professor Richardson.
