I left Fern and started a new job a few days ago, a job I got solely from networking.

I read 19 books this summer (which I’m defining as June through August), and the publication dates ranged from 1858 to 2026.

I used my Kobo e-reader for two things: reading library books (synced from OverDrive); and downloading free public domain classics from Standard Ebooks.

I started submitting materials requests to my local public library in late 2024 after hearing about it on a podcast episode about queer romance books; the podcast guest Adib Khorram mentioned it offhand.

I left Google in January 2025 at the end of my maternity leave.

I documented internal Search infrastructure at Google for about five years, from 2018 to early 2023.

I finished 76 books this year, my highest year since I started tracking back in 2020.

I recently watched the movie The Materialists (2025) and read the book Writers and Lovers (2020).

All the books I’ve read since January 2020.

Any technical writer working on a large documentation site with legacy docs knows the pain of site reorganization projects.

Over the past 33 years, Ann Patchett has published nine novels at a fairly regular cadence (2-4 years in between books).

Over the past few years I’ve talked to a number of people who are interested in getting into the technical writing field.
