Filed a draft of a story I've been reporting for a year. For fun, I deleted all my tweets. Just pinning this. Very excited to get back to work on edits for SWWTG. Through writing it, I've become a better wordsmith and person, even if it was so transformative as to be painful

Just because someone has a big brand or lots of followers—or even routinely grabs big scoops—doesn't mean they can file clean copy or follow directions well or be kind to their coworkers. When you’re starting out, being a pleasure to work with matters much more than scoops.

The thing is, @harrysiegel is a fantastic journalist with excellent ethics, the kind of reporter who gets jazzed about notebooks and data. Not traffic-obsessed. An analyst who cares deeply about facts and how to make them accessible. I’d trust him on any story, any day.

I just started watching Suits a week ago. It’s just exactly perfect for what it is. Meghan Markle is gorgeous and good but not great. The episodes are formulaic enough to be dependably watchable but not stressful. Characters are compelling enough to keep clicking play.
