• On the notebooks and wisdom of Harriet The Spy.
• What to do when you have that gross, jittery, too-much-Internet feeling, with help from the movie Spirited Away.
• Some of the terrible writing advice given to Shirley Jackson and Sylvia Plath, along with Shirley Jackson’s own (excellent) advice on getting started on a story.
• The number-one, best piece of advice for when you’re stuck on a creative project.
