Good Humor by CK Steefel's avatar

Glad you’re here and I hope I was helpful. I do notice that if you’re posting on Notes 10x a day you become one of the popular kids. I’m just not clever enough or don’t want to over share my life. I do share fab essays but no one reads them.

Don’t want to overwhelm so I’ll mention two recommends. Norm T. Leonard and Lee Bacon write wonderful personal stories.

I love Ann Kennedy Smith's "Cambridge Ladies' Dining Society," where she writes "about hidden corners of literature, Cambridge women’s stories from the late 19th century, and the brightest and best from the arts and publishing worlds." It's a gem of discoveries. I also love Lucy Worsley's "My Life in the Past." She's a Nancy Drew of history.

What I work on... Mostly books, and I also share comedic essays about midlife and culture. I'm an inveterate oversharer, but if you're not embarrassing yourself at least once a week, are you really living?
