It's been a bit since I was feeling brave enough to add any major new stuff, but I've got something new for you that I think will help make writing lots of posts easier: custom tags!
From right now, any post you make can have tagsâas many as you wantâwhich...

When I started this site back in 2018âwhich feels like forever agoâI figured I'd get in the habit of writing for a few weeks at a time, in bursts, and meet some people along the way. I never thought anyone would write for 365 days in a row, let alone...

Hey there, friends. I've missed you, and it's been a while. I moved to Canada this year, and got a new job over here in Toronto, which means my entire year somehow got sucked into a void of moving countries, navigating a new city, and finding my feet at a...

I realized that I never really wrote anything down about how people might be able to get the most out of this thing, or what I think is the best model for thinking about this service.
When I launched Write Together, I thought of it in a different way than...

Whatever anyone tells you about freelancing doesn't really encapsulate the feeling of being cut loose, set free into the abyss to choose your own destiny and figure out what you want to do with every hour, minute and second of the day.
They also don't tell you about what that...

I can't think of much else right now other than the fact that I should be sleeping. Instead, I'll find a bunch more ways to procrastinate from sleeping: maybe it's playing a game, writing this post, checking my email, or something else... there's always an excuse until, oops, it's midnight!...

Writing is tied to my emotional state, and when I'm feeling a particularly strong emotionâweariness, inadequacy, anything elseâI find myself unable to put pen to page. Nothing flows out, no matter how hard I try.
As you can imagine, it's difficult enough to do for a full time living when...

After a whirlwind last few days in New Zealand, I just spent the last 30+ hours on planes, winding my way back to 'home' in the Netherlands.
It's nice to be back, but it's painful too. I'm so glad to be in the space that's mine, in control of my...
