October 🎃 Thank you , & manager for a surprise guest appearance on a very spooky evening… Finishing up the fall on November 8 🍁

I wrote my first eight books in coffee shops (FIVE unpublished, three published—RA, WTFH, The Outliers). Most of them in the Park Slope Starbucks where everybody knew my name. Literally. 9/10 hours a day, every day. (The chairs are hard as hell I can tell you that much). I was there so much that when the Park Slope Starbucks planned to close for renovations the manager sat me down to warn me…gently.

I knew then it was time to move on and I did — thank you . But today I find myself between meetings working at a Starbucks in midtown for the day and though I am finding it impossible to concentrate (how did I do it before!) it’s good to be reminded.

Because sometimes where you came is the only thing that can truly light the way forward.

And to anyone out there writing in some coffee shop somewhere today thinking “why the hell am I even doing this” — I don’t know. But I am sure you need to keep on, keeping on. I’ll be here pulling for you.💗

Next week! Three of our newer members share what they’ve been working on. Link in bio for free tickets!
