Welcome to the kid table!
Wow, what a week. There’s a lot to process…I hope you’ve had some time to rest in between processing. To rejuvenate, I went paddle boarding on a lake and had a moment of quiet connection. I definitely needed it.
I hope the creative nugget today reminds you of your strength.

How have your rejections made you stronger?
Bring your own juice box
B.Y.O.J.B. is that special kid table moment when you trade your dad’s famous chocolate chip cookies for your favorite fruit snacks.
This week I’m trading a few of my favorite literary magazines (and a chance to become part of history). If you love McSweeney’s and Illustoria literary magazines like I do, then you’ll probably love The Believer, a literary art magazine for adults that’s become the most-funded literary journal project in Kickstarter history.

Thanks for sitting with me today. As always, I’ll save you a spot next week AT THE KID TABLE!
Happy creating,
