I’m traveling for the day job, spending a couple of days at a trade show in Atlanta, GA. In light of this, and in acknowledgement of my new-found sense of community, I’m sharing with you some writings from around the web that have fascinated me, spoke to my soul, or just made me stop and think.
If you are a dreamer:
- Adam S. McHugh, author of Introverts in the Church
, has been writing this last year about transition as he moves from one field to another: from ministry to wine-making. With amazing honesty, he wrote last week about what it is like to try again where you once failed. Read his post Once More into the Breach for more about dreams that change.
- I’m often deciding how best to spend my time: writing content, or jimmying with my email subscription service? Megan Dougherty at Paying for Life helped me sort it out a bit better with a post that starts with a rainbow loom bracelet: “Know what you can do well – and either learn the rest, or get someone to help you do it.”
If you are a writer:
- What do you do when you go back and read 50,000 words of a novel that need to be redone? If you are me, you panic first and then serendipitously stumble upon a post from Mary Carroll Moore about revision and the growth your writing goes through.
- This article from buffer reaffirmed for me that getting up at 5:30 AM everyday to write is worth it.
If you are a thinker:
- What I wish I would have articulated about the #banbossy movement, but couldn’t find the words. Anna at Girl, Defined takes on the movement, with eloquence and grace.
- Do you believe in such a thing as insignificant choices? Nate Canada doesn’t, and I might not either after reading this post.
Did any of these articles strike a chord with you? Do you have something else I should read? Chime in below!
