My wife, Bess, has a new essay on her Substack: “On Writing (or not): Part One: Bad habits and why the voice in my head needs to kindly shut up.” It’s great! I recommend subscribing. Dying of cancer is bad, but I love reading Bess’s work, and so her recent writing binge is a tiny, but real, consolation.

Her last piece on The Story’s Story is “Seeing as a doctor, seeing as a wife.”
