Hi Reader, October is for spooky stories, clever costumes, and using “whom” correctly. (Terrifying, I know.) Over on Substack, I’m still dishing out Word Nerd Wednesday each week. Still, if you haven’t crossed the threshold into subscriber territory, you’re missing the good stuff: the unfiltered essays, the writing life chronicles, the behind-the-scenes of what it takes to write honestly—about everything from motherhood to grief to grammar gaffes. 👻 Think of it as a haunted house of heartfelt stories.

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...
Hi Reader, my fellow inmate, A question I hear all the time when writing website copy and blogs is: "How much do you focus on SEO?" Short answer? It matters. But not as much as making sure the words on your site sound like you. SEO is like a neon sign—it can help bring people to your door. But once they’re inside, if the experience doesn’t match what they expected, they’re walking right back out. You don’t just want traffic. You want connection. You want the right people to land on your site,...
