Oh, hi friends!

What are you looking forward to this weekend?

Maybe you’re heading out on a trip — or already landed in your new destination.

Or you might be relaxing at home, looking forward to a work-free Monday.

Do you need excitement? Alone time? A few hours to finish that book while sitting on a pier by the water? Can you start a new hobby, or see that movie everyone’s talking about? Or carve out a half-hour to write? Or simply vegetate without guilt?

If time always seems scarce, then standing on the edge of a three-day weekend should feel like the biggest treat in the world.

I’ll be thinking about this today. 

And pssst, if you’re not going anywhere, and you’re in New York and want to see something kinda funny-sad (and free!), well, GUESS WHAT?! I’m having a reading of my Pulitzer play-in-progress “Old Hollywood” tonight at 7:30pm at the Dramatists Guild in Midtown! We have a great group of actors and a brilliant director. 

I’ll write more next week about how this came to be. (ACCOUNTABILITY.) But if you’re interested in coming, reply and I’ll send you the details! And there will be others in the future on non-holiday weekends :)

Here’s to a good weekend full of the people and things you love.

Look deep into my soul.
And also, maybe, take a mud bath.

“It’s basically a mind-set that if this doesn’t work out…there’s something even better right around the corner.”

Very easy to read this advice but harder to take into account when you’re facing a rejection or a major change.

But still! We could all be a little more scarce and see what happens. Here's how.

I’d estimate at least 60% of my meals in New York have been at diners. Depressing that they’re being pushed out by luxury towers — here’s more on the vanishing diners in the city.

5 Korean American creatives share their writing habits (so many gems in here).

This month I've been working on the end stages of three (!!) big projects at the same time, so am a littttle behind on my link reading. But you know what? All those stories I want to read will still be there. Freeing myself from tab-overload has been very helpful in hunkering down and finishing. So that's my biggest grab bag tip for today! Defer consuming if you need to be creating.
