150 hours is such a good reminder of how a relatively small time investment into a project can be life-changing

This is so beautiful Jane!!! Congrats on a year of writing. I especially love the bit about finding your prose & feeling like your mother is your friend. Beautifully written.

Jane, hello!

I just wanted to stop by and say thank you for posting your monthly essays. I randomly stumbled across your Twitter account a while back, ended up reading all of your essays from last year, and was inspired to overcome the inertia and start writing myself. It’s something I’d always wanted to do, but found too intimidating to begin.

I know you appreciate knowing that people read what you write, so I wanted to share that your words nudged me a little in the right direction.

Thanks again, and I’m looking forward to following along. :-)

I actually think of channeling as a tunnel from the skies to my body, as if my body is a vessel for whatever divine thing wants to be said through me. Maybe that's more spiritual than you meant :)

I'm so proud of you Jane for being so consistent with your writing this year! It is really, really special that you've found your own "Jane prose" voice. Here's to 2026!
