At Thanksgiving this Year, We Counted to 100
Thanksgiving in my house can be busy. We are a well-oiled machine, but with a lot of people in a small space, it can still get crowded, loud, and chaotic. My parents always host, and the first hour or two the front door opens and shuts with people arriving in droves, carrying tote bags full Continue reading

The Power of a Small, Good Thing
About a month ago I was walking down the aisle of a plane, avoiding eye contact with the strangers already buckled, and continually glancing at the row numbers in search of my seat. I always like to get a window seat. I’ve found it helps with my motion sickness, not to mention gives me a Continue reading

Writing the 100 Pages Movie
I was standing in line for a churro when I got the email. A callback for a final interview. I’d seen the project announcement on Instagram and initially put the call for applications to the back of my mind. It was a screenwriting job, and I was not a screenwriter. But a few days later, Continue reading

Why I’m Thinking About Coco this Veterans Day
In an unexpected turn of events, I have been watching a lot of World War II content. It started with Band of Brothers, which initially aired on HBO but was recently released on Netflix. While making my way through the 10-part series, I have also intermittently watched movies based in WWII, like Hacksaw Ridge, Unbroken, Continue reading

Take Your Treasure Out of the Box
At a recent church sermon I attended, the pastor talked about “taking your treasure out of the box.” She went into the idea that we are all designed specifically and carefully and given gifts (a.k.a treasures) that we can choose to either share or not share with the world. In today’s society, hobbies, gifts, and Continue reading

Not 75 Hard, 75 Kim
If you can believe it, there are less than 70 days left in 2023. I always get a dual sense of panic and excitement about the end of a year. It feels like crunch time to get everything accomplished and time to start planning and setting goals for next year. But recently, I’ve seen a Continue reading

The Countdowns Never Stop
I saw a sign the other day that said there are 75 days until Christmas. There are less now. There are even less days until Hannukah or Halloween or Thanksgiving, and we all know an estimate of how far off our birthday is. In my family, we’re counting down the days until our newest member Continue reading

Listen for the Questions You Have
A few weeks ago, I attended a two-day writing workshop at UCLA. It was 16 hours of intense work: writing to prompts, listening to lectures, and often reading our work aloud for responses from both the teacher and our classmates. Typically, this is my nightmare. Who likes to read aloud? Especially when it’s your own Continue reading

On the Morning of the Baby Shower, I Went to War
So there I was. It was just before 7:00 a.m. on the morning of my sister’s baby shower. My hair was in a bun on the top of my head, ready to be washed, my kitchen table was covered in cookies and flower arrangements, and my dress was laid out, ready to be put on. Continue reading
