Weekly art, writing, and creative inspiration from the author of Steal Like an Artist and other bestsellers.
I am always remembering pieces of advices from Austin that I've picked up over the years: stop reading books you don't like, set up a bliss station, and, especially this year, keep going. I like getting his seasonal book recommendations as well.
Advice and wisdom from Heather Havrilesky, published since 2012 (formerly at The Awl and NY Magazine). Paid subscribers receive twice weekly posts on how to navigate our broken world with compassion, realism, and an open heart.
In this house, we stop, drop, and read everything Heather Havrilesky writes immediately. I had quotes from her wallpapering the room I lived in during grad school and I definitely wouldn't be the person I am today without her.
