7 Ways to Make a Small Story Feel Substantial
I recently finished reading Wild Dark Shore, a literary climate thriller by Charlotte McConaghy. Its cast is small and geographically constricted: Widower Dominic Salt and his three children are performing one last task before shutting down the final scientific operations on soon-to-be uninhabitable Shearwater, a small island not far from Antarctica, when a woman washes up on the beach during a violent storm. Miraculously, she clings to life, and saving her will affect each of them in profound ways. Despite reading another wonderful novel in the meantime, I can’t stop thinking about this story.

Anything Is Possible
You can do anything. You can write a book. You can get an agent, if that’s what you want, a real powerhouse. You can get a great advance. You can click with your editor in a life-changing way. You can emerge from the editing process with a beautiful book, a wonderful book, a book readers will love. You can write a bestseller. Then you can write another one, a second book that readers embrace just as warmly as the first. You can do this over and over. You can be a career writer for the rest of your life.
Is it hard to believe statements like this? Impossible? Well, in some cases, of course it is. Things like selling thousands of copies aren’t truly within our control. When I say “anything is possible,” I don’t mean it literally.
But I want you to believe it, for yourself, just for a while.

What Other Art Forms Taught Me About Writing
I collect hobbies.
In true ADHD fashion, my interests are expansive, my search history littered with deep dives into any number of subjects, and my living space full to the brim with all the stuff one accumulates if they are, like me, attempting to fully live up to the idea of becoming a “Jack of all trades” (and master of none).
(Also, in truly circular fashion, one of the hobbies I’ve collected, much to my mother’s chagrin, is the hobby of collecting itself– books, but also various dolls (American Girl and Disney collectible dolls primarily), along with cute mini-backpacks, quirky overalls, and of course, supplies for all my non-collecting hobbies).

Gros coup de cœur pour le livre "La Joie ennemie" de Kaouther Adimi. Enfermée le temps d’une nuit à l’Institut du monde arabe face aux toiles lumineuses de la peintre Baya, l’autrice livre un récit puissant où les traumatismes de la décennie noire en Algérie se confrontent à la beauté de la création.

4 Guides to a Sustainable Writing Life
In the publishing industry, “what will sell” is always a moving target. To adapt is to survive, for both creators and those who sell their works. Add today’s rapid socio-political shifts and it’s hard for a business to create a strategic plan that will still work next week let alone in the year(s) it will take to write and publish a novel.

Readings for Writers: In Extremis: W.B. Yeats
As an Irishman, Yeats understood revolution as a turn toward independence, the freedom to determine one’s own fate. He also knew the cost, measured in lives lost, of the struggle to throw off British colonial rule. He was born in Dublin in 1865, the same year the Fenian Land Reform Movement began. He was 40 when the Sinn Féin political party was founded. He was 51 at the Easter Rebellion of 1916. He lived through the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921), the brief truce that followed, the reignition of civil war, and the consolidation of the Irish Free State (1925-1939).

Writing on Solid Ground: Create an Intentional Writing Practice
The first time I took the bus from Pennsylvania to New York City I was surprised to discover that the skyline is not, as I had thought, all skyscrapers. Seen from a westerly approach, there are two distinct clusters of skyscrapers separated by blocks and blocks and blocks of shorter buildings. It seemed weird that the city planners hadn’t built more skyscrapers, given how many people want to live and work in Manhattan.
It was a puzzle I didn’t unlock until I found out about the geology of the island.
Manhattan has two areas of solid bedrock—one in Midtown and one downtown. And that’s where the skyscrapers go.

Good Writing Can’t Be Taught
As I started circling this topic for this month’s post, I figured I’d start it with a question: can good writing be taught? But the more I thought about it, the more I realized I already knew the answer: no.
Good writing can’t be taught. But a willing writer can always learn.
My use of “willing” there instead of “good” isn’t an accident; I have trouble with the idea that someone either is or is not a good writer, mostly because I know so many writers (and have even been that writer myself) wrestling with self-doubt, asking “Am I a bad writer?” when a draft isn’t going well. It’s not a helpful way to think.

Four Ways to Give Your Creativity a Boost
One of the most difficult things about writing, for me anyway, is coming up with ideas for things to write about. Over the course of my career, I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit staring at a blank Word document, waiting for inspiration to strike. Although there’s a lot of good advice out there offering ways to combat this problem, not everything I’ve tried has helped. Below are four tips I’ve come to rely on whenever I feel stuck.
Just Write Something
Back when I worked as a magazine editor, one of things I often said to writers experiencing creative blocks was: You can’t edit a blank page. By this, I meant that while it’s possible to fix a less-than-perfect story, you can’t make something out of nothing.

Layer Cake: Writing Historical Fiction
Dateline: Budapest. Inspired by a recently discovered fresco in Pompeii depicting a delectable flatbread on a platter with a large goblet of red wine, a Budapest pizzeria crafted a pie using only ingredients that would have been available in ancient Rome. Although it wasn’t until the 1800s that the city of Naples introduced a street food of tomatoes, cheese, and herbs baked on a thin crust of leavened bread, Titus Caesar in his 79 A.D. toga could have eaten focaccia topped with nuts, savory sauce, dried fruit, herbs. More French Laundry than Dominos.

Wonderment Within Weirdness and the Many Inspirations Behind It
No story exists in a vacuum. Every piece of media, every book, every show, every game—it all comes from somewhere. From what we watch, what we read, what we play, what we experience, and even who we meet along the way. Wonderment Within Weirdness is no different. In fact, one of the defining aspects of the book is just how many different inspirations come together to shape it. And not in a way where it feels copied or stitched together—but in a way where everything blends into […] -

4 Ways Specificity Drives Your Story Forward
Detail creates story movement by inviting the reader into your story’s experience.
Sometimes.
If you apply that detail indiscriminately, it’s equally possible that you’ll entangle your reader and dilute your story’s point. When seeking a balance between enticing and telling all, remember to leave room for the reader who wants to enter your story.

Why Do We Write?
My youngest daughter got engaged last week, which means it’s been an intense weekend, with lots of hugs and joyful tears and gratitude and hope and excitement for the future. At the end of the weekend, a friend said to me: This was so much intense emotion. Are you going to use that in a novel?
The question stopped me short, because it made me think about the many times in my life I’ve felt driven to write, in order to process intense emotion. And yet it’s almost always been because I needed to process something hard , something that knocked the steel from my knees and the breath from my lungs. For me, writing my way through painful experiences helps me regain my equilibrium; happy feelings don’t elicit the same need.

When my first book came out, I was working full-time, writing, and parenting two kids under three. It was, to say the least, hard to find the time to write. It was also hard to find a place to write.

The Power of Story to Spark Corrective Emotional Experiences
Can a so-called “spicy” fictional hockey show from a small Canadian production company, based on a niche romance book series, provide genuine emotional breakthroughs for millions of global viewers? And, if so, what lessons if any can be applied to writers of any genre? These questions were not on my list of likely creative explorations for 2026, yet here I am. Not only have I dived deep into the matter for myself, but I am now sharing my musings with the WU family. As I see it, we need all the inspiration we can muster these days. So, let’s give it a go and see what rough pebbles of thought may shine bright with a bit of polish.

Of Pens and Swords
In January 2011, a series of pro-democracy protests and demonstrations across North Africa and the Middle East succeeded in deposing multiple rulers. This constellation of events became known as the Arab Spring, and it ushered in, at least briefly, hope for a new era of change.
When I returned to Egypt afterward, the physical landscape of Cairo had changed. At Tahrir Square, the epicenter of the revolution, the gutted-out shell of a hotel testified to the violence that marked the revolution. Giant new walls surrounded the national museum. Narrow avenues of entry and guard posts slowed access to tourist sites. During my daily drives through Cairo I also saw something that never existed during the Mubarak era: graffiti.

Finish First: Sometimes the Best Advice Is the Simplest
A few weeks ago, I was listening to a great new podcast, Little Pod , by Olivia Muenter (of Bad on Paper fame). The show follows the emotional rollercoaster of Olivia’s most recent book launch—something many authors can relate to.
During the third episode, “What’s Success, Anyway?” Olivia asks New York Times bestselling author Catherine Newman if there are any habits or mindsets that have contributed to her success.
Catherine laughs before answering. She says she works really hard and has written a lot. Then she recalls a scientific study she once read about musicians. Researchers had studied people who were writing music, and the conclusion was surprisingly simple:
The longer people spent writing music, the more music they wrote.

7 Reasons We Writers Need Human Interaction
Like me, two of my sisters are also writers and editors. When we check in with each other in the morning, we’ll sometimes say, “Today I must be alone in my garret all day because I’m on deadline.” We writers often romanticize the idea of being huddled in a garret, translating our thoughts into words on the page with no one to bother us. The metaphor of “an unfinished part of a house just under the roof” suits us, even if it is cramped and drafty. Here, we can suffer for our art.
