I am a voracious reader and every week I come across either a book, online piece or website I want to share with others. I’ve decided to curate these gems and highlight them on Friday. I hope you find these faves as insightful as I do.
- “So how do we handle screen time these days? The short answer is that we focus less on restriction and more on connection.” Tanya Slavin’s piece, “Is our screen-time anxiety more detrimental than screen time?” in the Washington Post raises insightful points about children’s time in front of devices.
- Are any of these books on your reading list? Lit Hub lists its picks in “Five Books Making News: Love, Science, and Loneliness.”
- I know many writers will relate to Julie Vick’s piece, “The Writer’s Index” on the Brevity blog.
- “Quiet the noise around you; soften its pitch. Our deepest stories are our best teachers. Let the weapons of the weak — the poison, the nagging, the gossip — burn themselves to ash. Cast them to the wind. Take back the permission to succeed. Make it yours.” “Writing and the Permission to Succeed: The Intersection of Art and Shame” by Elissa Altman is a powerful piece that is a must read for all artists.
What were some of your favorite reads this week?
Loved that Julie Vick piece. So funny. AND TRUE! 🙂 Have a great weekend!
I laughed out loud at Julie’s piece. Hope you are having a good week, Kristen.
I’ve been so immersed in work that I haven’t taken a book recommendation totally seriously in ages. Now I’m ready to do it again!
Hope you find a few good reads, Tamara. There’s nothing like relaxing with a good book during the summertime.
I always enjoy your pics! Thank you!
Love that writer’s index. Ha! Could be any of us.
