I have a piece up at @HuffPost today about what happened when I ditched my iPhone for a whole summer. I'm not anti-tech by any stretch, but I had to do *something* to rescue my mental health. It really did change my life. huffpost.com/entry/flip-pho…

My latest recs are up, featuring the latest by @blacklionking73 🔥 Worth It #9, by @lindseydjones open.substack.com/pub/lindseydel…

Today's post on play by @lindseydjones in the @brevitymag blog came just as this week's tasks in my WIP were beginning to feel like an onerous burden. Love what she has to say here.

When the writer is exploring and discovering, the reader is too. How to rediscover the sense of play. Love this piece by @lindseydjones at @brevitymag brevity.wordpress.com/2023/08/29/tow… #WritingCommunity #creativewriting #Authorscommunity

Why you know nothing about the memoir you’re going to write, and why that’s exactly as it should be. @lindseydjones #memoir #writing #creativewriting lindseydeloachjones.substack.com/p/seeing-again?

@amysuardi @Sharla_R_Yates @GuerillaMemoir Thanks Amy! And... same.

@lindseydjones @Sharla_R_Yates @GuerillaMemoir Your talk was so good -- I loved it! Just what I needed. Like every day. 😆

Join me as I team up with @Sharla_R_Yates and @GuerillaMemoir for Craft Talks this coming Wednesday. Let's "knock our writing off balance," on purpose. craft-talks.com/wp/event/reviv…

My latest Substack is up. To help me think about play (again), I invoked Florence & the Machine, evolutionary psychologist Peter Gray and, a little bit reluctantly, God. open.substack.com/pub/lindseydel…

Four books, a Substack, a poem, a quote, a lot of other nonsense. This week's Worth It. lindseydeloachjones.substack.com/p/worth-it-7?u…

My latest newsletter finally answers the question everyone has about life without a smartphone: What's it like? lindseydeloachjones.substack.com/p/50-days-with…

4 good books, a great show, and a Wheel of Fortune cameo. This week's Worth It. lindseydeloachjones.substack.com/p/worth-it-6?u…

I so appreciate this lovely, sensitive consideration of Momfluenced, what momfluencers are selling, and how the early "mommy bloggers" shared their full humanity. Thank you @lindseydjones !

I wrote about the upsides and downsides of internet portrayals of modern motherhood for @motherwellmag, inspired by @slouisepetersen 's excellent book Momfluenced. motherwellmag.com/2023/06/30/how…

I've been smartphone-free for 12 days. Here's how it's going. (TLDR: not well.) lindseydeloachjones.substack.com/p/we-still-can…

The worst part of every day is when I have read all my emails, responded to everyone on Instagram, checked to make sure there are no more emails, read every Substack newsletter I'm subscribed to... and finally realize there is nothing else to click. I have to write. #amwriting

My latest edition of "Worth It" is out: recommendations for a podcast with the former Dwight Schrute, some light Ishiguro reading, and a poem from David Whyte. lindseydeloachjones.substack.com/p/worth-it-4?u…

My oldest daughter is 10, and smartphone decisions for her feel impossible. Kids Who Get Smartphones Earlier Become Adults With Worse Mental Health, by @JonHaidt open.substack.com/pub/jonathanha…

I've been hounded by the urge to ditch my smartphone, and I'm writing to figure out why. It has something to do with the exhausting fantasy of human omniscience. #substack #betweentwothings lindseydeloachjones.substack.com/p/live-your-wa…

In all the discourse about the kind of future AI might bring, most of us stop short of asking how we will live in the face of it. I'm thinking about that today in my latest newsletter. lindseydeloachjones.substack.com/p/how-should-w…
