The problem with a story about my kettle is that I don’t have a kettle. — Gareth Willey wrote a piece recently that suggested writing about your kettle as an exercise for becoming a better writer. He suggests that if you can sit down and write about something as mundane as a kettle then you can write about anything. To Become a Better Writer, Tell the Reader About Your Kettle If you can write about a kettle, you can write about anything.medium.com

Packing for a day hike

What should you pack for a hike that will not last more than a day? — Day hikes are one of my favorite outdoor activities to do. It’s a definite mental health break for me as well as being a good exercise, plus there are many health benefits to be had from spending time walking in woodlands (or anywhere really).

Clapping or Slapping?

Did you know you can clap more than once for a story? I didn’t. — I’ve been using Medium for a while now, but at no point was it clear to me that the “clap” button (which until now I saw as akin to a like button on social media) was able to be used to clap more than once. It’s only thanks to a…
