People are so obsessed with writing the "right" things and in the "right" way that they often just find themselves staring at a blank page. Just write. Stream of consciousness, if you must. But write. Something will jump out at you.

I think another problem we often have is that we assume we don't have anything new or interesting to say about something. We think everything has been written. So, if you're in that place, grab a book on the topic about which you want to write. Then look for all the places you disagree. Look for places where you absolutely agree but think the author didn't go far enough. There. Now you can write something about it.(less)

We Are the Storm

I didn’t expect the news story about my abortion doula work to get as much attention as it did. I thought maybe I’d get a few emails (some good, some bad) and maybe a few more patients and a doula or two and just keep on doing what I’ve been doing. But the response has been overwhelming, to say the least.

The first story aired at 5PM last night and within minutes my phone was buzzing with notifica
