I’m starting something new today. The second and fourth Fridays will be Boost Day, where I share some wonderful essays I’ve found along the way. Did you find some, too? Share them here! And be sure to talk about any of these below.

In the comment section.

Because that’s what comment sections are for. (Gentle nudge)

Why Be Happy When You Could Be Writing
Learning to See Double
This is a newsletter about writing, but I need to lead with my daughter today: not because I am that kind of parent, but because when writing about giving the imagination free rein, the best place to start is with a six year old who has not yet forgotten how to do that…

Non-Boring History
The Last Tea Partier
George Washington shared a first name with him, they were both white guys, and they both fought in the American Revolution. Otherwise, the two had almost nothing in common. I don’t need to tell you who George Washington is. But George Hewes? He needs an introduction. I can tell you he was once a celebrity: He was the toast of Boston in 1835. That year, …

Letters of Note
'I hate everybody including you'
Admittedly it’s thin, but there is definitely a silver lining to the pandemic: for the best part of a year we have all been granted a bulletproof excuse to turn down pretty much any invitation, and I, for one, am grateful. Before long, however, we will need to restart the excuse generator and begin declining things awkwardly again. For that reason I wan…

Celebrity Book Clubs
Hi readers, Oprah is the pioneer of the celebrity book club, which began in 1996 when she introduced Oprah’s Book Club as a segment on her hugely popular Oprah Show.

Front Row & Backstage
Sid, Johnny & Me: Live and Up Close With the Sex Pistols in San Antonio, 1978
Armed with safety pins, ripped clothes, and bitter punk vitriol, UK’s Sex Pistols marched across the mostly southern stretches of the United States in January 1978. In fact, January 2022 marks the 44th anniversary of that abbreviated US onslaught that crammed seven aural and visual tornadoes into a scant ten days. And then…poof…

3 Famous Awards With Incredibly Dark Origin Stories

These are my picks for today. They’re all, you might notice, from Substack. So much good stuff out there!

I’ll do this again in a couple of weeks. If you find some gems of your own, you can share them here and I might use them for another Friday Boost.


Thank you for reading Writer Everlasting. This post is public so feel free to share it.

I LOVE this idea, Ramona -- so clever and such a nice way to highlight all the other awesome people writing interesting 'stacks.

I wrote an issue last year on children's books for loss, death, and grief that is, unfortunately, never *not* relevant. I try to share it widely (it's public and will always remain so, because I want to help people navigate a tough situation if I can). If it fits into your boosts somewhere, great, and if not, no big deal: https://canweread.substack.com/p/spotlight-on-loss-death-and-grief
