Deciding where you live is easy, until it isn't, right? If you think about what makes home, let alone where you want to live, however, it gets really difficult. Do you love where you are right now? Do you even think about it? If you don't, that's great, but when...

Writing is a brutal art. Almost everyone I meet wishes they could write better, and talks about learning, but has either attempted then failed to begin, or tried for a while and given up.
We all struggle to externalize our words, emotions and ideas, but writing them down seems to...

Hello, and welcome to today's edition of "uncollected, messy thoughts from my jet-lagged brain to keep my writing streak." I'm here safely in Melbourne after a pair of agonizingly long flights, penning some thoughts before I finally rest.

I've always thought that goal setting as a concept felt icky, and a little unnecessary, but as the years go by, I'm coming to realize that meandering aimlessly is fun, but when push comes to shove it's hard to make coherent decisions in the moment without goals to guide you....

Dear Diary,
As I've been writing this every day for the last month and watching everyone else use it as well, I've been thinking that Write Together has filled a void for me that I missed on the internet over the last few years.
I miss that sense of being...

It's almost the fifth year I've been living far from 'home' and I've been thinking a bunch about what that actually means: what is home? What defines it? I struggle, at the moment, to really put my finger on what it is, or the feeling of home, I think because...
