Little Fires (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I wish I could pace and type at the same time. Perched on the 1st floor platform at The Post, my heart and brain are churning out ideas that my footsteps try to catch and stack. Some relegated to do-lists, or “content ideas” in my notes app. Others immediately attacked.

Finally got a meeting with one of the city’s most successful managers only for him to tell me, “We can’t even have this conversation until you reach 7K.”I went home and wrote “Fuck Your Followers” that day.
