Hi Reader, Late September rolls in, and that fresh-start energy? It’s already starting to fade. The notebooks aren’t quite as crisp, the pencils a little less sharp—and let’s be honest, the clean slate is already collecting coffee rings. But if your inner Word Nerd is still showing up, ready to write, I’ve got good news. Write Like You Mean It is still serving up weekly doses of grammar wisdom, writing inspiration, and the occasional truth bomb—over on Substack. ✏️ Word Nerd Wednesday = free 💬 Personal essays, behind-the-scenes writing life, and creative pep talks = living behind the paywall It’s part masterclass, part memoir, part “Did she really just say that?” storytelling. If you’re looking to sharpen your writing pencils and your storytelling voice, this is where the lessons live.

Hi Reader, my fellow language lover, Some of you have heard this rant before. Maybe you’ve even nodded politely while quietly deleting your last email that began with “I just wanted to check in…” But like most things worth repeating—ABBA songs, sunscreen, and “don’t text your ex”—this one bears repeating. Let’s talk about my nemesis: the word “just.” Not “just” as in justice for all (that I’m here for). I’m talking about the sneaky, squishy, apologetic “just” that slips into our sentences...
