SECRET GARDENS IN MY MIND (13)
Hi, Stacey! I’m trying to be as direct and authentic with you as possible, but that’s easier vowed than done, isn’t it? In my head, I think of things to say to you, but there are barriers to writing them. The first barrier is I have multiple freelance writing jobs I’m constantly juggling. I am…

PURPLE PIG (12)
Hi, Stacey! Last spring I took a vacation to Japan and simply loved loved loved it. But I could not not not sleep well. I woke up at 3 AM basically every night. One night, I was desperately beckoning sleep with a meditation podcast. The speaker instructed me to ask to see something, something as…

WRITING AT SIX FLAGS (PART II) (4)
Hi, Stacey! Now that I’ve explained why I write at Six Flags, I’d like to tell you how I write at Six Flags. First, I use a website called IsItPacked.com to find out when the park isn’t going to be busy. I like to go on days labeled “Ghost Town.” I try to arrive just…
