About “No Turn Before the Shoreline”

A series written in liminal states—usually in the air, before, after, or during travel—when the ground is far away and the mind is closest to truth.

Frequency
These pieces appear whenever that liminal state does. On planes, my ADHD-driven anxiety softens into focus; the engine hum becomes a white noise machine that lets my thoughts finally line up. Sometimes I loop the same no-skip albums and write until the seatbelt sign turns off my overthinking.

How you can support

  • Hit subscribe. Each subscriber gives me a small burst of serotonin and, more importantly, reminds me there’s a real human on the other side of these words.

  • Upgrade to a paid subscription if you’re able. Every paid reader helps cover submission fees and nudges this work a little closer to traditional publication; I’ll be transparent about costs so you can see where your support goes.

  • Engage with the work: like, comment, hit reply, tell me what landed.

  • Re-share posts on IG, LinkedIn, or wherever you gather online; it helps these essays find the people who might need them.

  • If it’s been quiet here for a while, text me a topic you’d like me to aim my overthinking at.

Thank you for reading and being here.
