Welcome!
I originally started this in 2020. I originally wanted to share my recommendations and thoughts about the books I was reading. I was craving connection and conversation during the isolation of the pandemic. Since then, it’s evolved. It’s still that, but I’m hoping to share more of my own writing. I’m a freelance journalist and writer. This is a place to be a little weird and free, as well as to share tips and suggestions (I was once a magazine editor and I miss it). You can contact me at thessalylaforce.net.

Freelance writer and lapsed magazine editor. I'm a mother of two, a frequent contributor to The New York Times. I'm working on a novel. Here, an attempt to think on the page about ideas, culture, life, motherhood, and whatever else, honestly.
