There are definitely differences between Good Fortune and Side Hustle Safety Net.
There’s no angel in my book.

But the themes of polyemployment and outsourcing of risk? ✅✅

And I’m listed before Judd Apatow in the credits.

Every writer gets stuck sometimes. Join us for a workshop next week @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social that will introduce you to strategies for getting unstuck so that you can move forward in your project. Register using the QR code or visit our website: buff.ly/hjqkyti
A key challenge that writers face is feeling stuck in a project and not knowing how to move forward. This workshop focuses on using informal writing techniques, from freewriting to visualization, to overcome some of the most common practical and emotional obstacles that arise in academic writing. The strategies we’ll discuss are versatile; they can be used for any writing project in any discipline. Everyone gets stuck. Come learn how to get unstuck and recapture your momentum! Tuesday, October 21st @ 3 PM
