Happy 1st Book Birthday to my memoir CAMOUFLAGE! I’ve learned a lot about book promotion in the last year, so I thought I’d celebrate by listing 72 things I did to promote my book and the 5 things I learned from them in my latest Substack post. heathersweeney.substack.com/…

I snapped this photo with my pink Le Clic camera on my 5th grade field trip to the Statue of Liberty in 1987 when I lived in New Jersey. It feels so special to have this now. Never forget. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

“I had a tough work week, and I’m taking the day off from writing on this lazy Saturday,” said the woman who just wrote 1,000 words of an essay she didn’t even think she wanted to write.

Happy Left Handers Day to all who celebrate! (Like me.)

Literal note to self as I stare down the blinking cursor in the Google doc of my second book.

One year ago my prose poem "Impermanence" was published in Unbroken. I enjoy dabbling in poetry, and this was my second published poem. Hopefully more to come! theunjournals.com/unbroken46…

There’s just something about making my mother’s pasta salad recipe and watching Wimbledon that brings me back to my childhood. 🎾🎾🎾
