What better way to spend a summer Saturday than hanging out with my best friend from high school and my best friend from college and listening to jazz by the ocean?

Celebrating family birthdays in Vermont (and Christmas in July!) at @westontheater's production of WHITE CHRISTMAS...

What does your family do to celebrate birthdays?

I usually find listening to music while I'm writing too distracting. But #brainfmapp—self-described as "binaural beats 2.0"—really helps my brain get into the writing flow. Especially the "Creativity" and "Deep Work" tracks.

What do you like to listen to while you write?
