TCL is now retired.

This Substack was the home base of the writing podcast, newsletter, and book, This Creative Life. The podcast was a labor of love, free to listeners, and sponsored by me. Me is a full-time writer.

The podcast in its current form has been retired as of the end of 2023, but I know people are still finding it, which leads them here. Glad to have you!

However, in 2024, I’m combining classic TCL-style content about the writing life with my author newsletter, The Inbox Variations, which is also free and not too frequent (~10x a year). Would you consider subscribing there?

Thank you, and welcome!
