Does the Freewrite Alpha actually facilitate distraction-free writing? An 'inter-review' with Jude Jones, author of the newsletter Everything Is Temporary.

Not only did the Alpha give me a different way to approach writing, but it also reignited my passion for writing itself.

Thank you, @adriannanine.bsky.social, for interviewing me about this handy gadget!

If you have memories of staying or working at Grand Canyon Lodge, please reach out to me - I'm working on a story about what the lodge meant to folks before it was tragically destroyed by wildfire over the weekend. #GrandCanyonLodge #GrandCanyon

My controversial opinion is that eating an everything bagel is a deeply unpleasant experience and I have no idea why you'd choose it over any other bagel flavor

Controversial surf neighborhood is being built near iconic national park Locals are worried about water consumption and housing prices just outside Utah's most beloved national park.

Absolutely insane story from @adriannanine.bsky.social about a luxury surf community being built in ... the Utah desert.

How 2 botanists risked everything to raft the Grand Canyon in 1938 In 1938, Elzada Clover and Lois Jotter conducted a harrowing 43-day trip down the Colorado River in an effort to map the Grand Canyon's flora.

Nice piece this week in @sfgate.com about my book -- a little behind-the-scenes info about my general terror of river rafting and how I overcome it to write Brave the Wild River. πŸ§ͺπŸŒŽπŸ’™πŸ“š By @adriannanine.bsky.social www.sfgate.com/national-par...

Are you feeling uncertain about whether you "should" visit a national park in the near future? Do you have a trip to a national park planned that you're now reconsidering? I'd love to hear from you for an upcoming #nationalparks story!
