The Joy & Peace Jar
One of my goals for this year was to make a “Joy Jar” that I read about here. The idea is to write down joyful moments throughout the year and collect them in a jar, so at the end of the year you have a jar full of joy to look back on. About halfway… Continue reading

My 2023 Rec Roundup
My favorite part of writing recommendation lists is imagining someone finding something new that they love, and experiencing the same excitement I did when I first saw/watched/listened to it. I also get excited thinking about all the new things I will discover in the new year. Thank you to all the wonderful creative people out… 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

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.

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

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
