100-Word Writing Habit 99¢ on Kindle

June 25, 2026

For the first time ever, I have marked down the Amazon Kindle edition of 100-Word Writing Habit to 99¢.

The Kindle edition has been carefully coded to mimic the experience of the paperback as closely as possible.

The only way I’ve personally been able to keep up a writing habit is by choosing a ridiculously easy goal (such as 100 words). This short book is there to help inspire you to try it out. It adds up more quickly than you expect and leads to more growth as a writer than you expect.

I plan to mark it back up soon so grab it now.

Books for learning to be human

December 23, 2025

In a recent Love Mondays newsletter, I wrote about the humanities as the science of being human. One reader in particular pointed out this passage:

what is a life well-lived, what trade-offs should a society make, and how do you navigate consciousness and this existence of fortune, desire, suffering, and elation?

And asked if I had book recommendations. I figured I might share them for all. keep on reading »
