A Week of Refurbished Posts (I’m going to El Salvador) About three months ago, a friend approached me. Seems she had a trip planned to El Salvador and had a falling out with her travel companion. Would I be interested? Now, dear reader... I pass the hat for my Patreon when it comes to rent and groceries. I’m making ends meet, but not by that much....
How Many Partners Is Too Many? (Polyamory/Non Monogamy) Zephyra asks: I’m really glad to see you starting to share your experiences with polyamory on your new blog. I have recently decided to be consensually non-monogamous, and immediately, I had dozens of offers. I don’t really want to let any of these people down, and it’s so exciting to talk to them, but I don’t have any time for myself and I can tell my kids are starting to notice how absent I am. How can you tell when enough is enough?...
Monogamous Privilege? When I was approached to do a piece about monogamous privilege, at first I Spock-eyebrowed pretty hard. I associate the word privilege strongly with identity markers that people can’t control and are usually born with—things like race, nationality, gender, cissism, sexuality....
One Book to Rule Them All (And With Oversewing Bind Them) The best book I've ever found on writing…actually found me....
A Dozen Ways to Not Write Daily (If that’s your jam) Technically this is part four of my article: The Privilege of Daily Writing and the Ableism of Prescribing It, but I am separating this part as a stand-alone listicle....

The Privilege of Writing Daily and The Ableism of Prescribing It (Part 3) Of course, some will continue to be jerkwad dill holes. Writers are not a monolith. Maybe they just have critical empathy failure. Maybe they answered too many “How do I make it?” questions from desperate twenty-year-olds and can’t pop their clutch out of jerkwad gear. Maybe they just have too damned much dill in their holes. Regardless, they will ignore that not all lives are as untrammeled as their own, and shrug and say, “[Insert shitty and problematic thing here]”....
The Privilege of Daily Writing (And the Ableism of Prescribing It) Part 2 The time, the energy, the ability to write every day—not everyone has these. And while most aspiring writers who “can’t” write every day may need little more than some brutally honest introspection about their really real true-when-they’re-leaned-over-the-volcano priorities, there will always be those for whom the privilege of writing every day simply doesn’t exist.... https://chriscookie.com/2026/06/08/the-privilege-of-daily-writing-and-the-ableism-of-prescribing-it-part-2/
The Privilege of Daily Writing (And the Ableism of Prescribing It) Part 1
The most common problem among beginning writers is actually not stilted or purple prose, it’s not lack of vocabulary or grammatical knowledge, it’s not that they haven’t found their voice and borrow from their favorite Victorian authors even if they’re writing gritty cyberpunk technoerotica, and it certainly isn’t that they need to do nothing more than “a polish” on that vampire magic school love…
Surgery Report
Let me start by saying I am fine…now. But surgery did not go well. For reasons unknown (I never drank or got hepatitis) I have end stage liver disease. It’s mostly under control, although there are some things I need to start doing to take it much more seriously. Under control end stage liver disease is still end stage liver disease and that complicates every abdominal procedure I might have.…
Just a quick personal/meta update today as I turn around and do fifteen things at once behind the scenes.
Advice So Many Non Monogamous (especially dudes) Need
There’s a polyamory group on Facebook that I’m in. It’s about half memes and half requests for advice. I like about 5% of its posts asking for advice or help. They are interesting questions or serious introspection about what tools would be best to navigate some of the complexities that come up around nonmonogamy in a monogamous society. (Things like how to handle holidays when your family…

Tarot Read: Will I Find Love?
Would You Like a Tarot Read? I offer tarot readings in a slightly unconventional way. I need some time to sit with the cards and my intuition before I can tell you what they’re We meet for a fifteen minute intake session where we clarify your question and your current circumstances. And then I will deliver a write up with clarity, insight, and ideas (along with a picture of the spread) and send…
The Writer Is Sick
This is a job for me, so every once in a while I need to “call in.” I spiked a 102 fever on Sunday and even though it had broken by Monday, I felt like I had been run over by a tractor trailer…a few times. Since I usually write the posts you see the day before they go live, I’m a couple of days behind my normal schedule here. Got something (a little different) for Wednesday. Hope you like it.…

Ten Things All Writers Want but No One Can Give Them (Part 2)
Return to Part 1Concentration/Focus Okay, knowledge drop: for some of us, this isn’t entirely accurate. There are some nice medical doctors who can give us little pills that help with the ability to concentrate/focus, so yes, sort of, some people can kind of be “given” the ability to concentrate. Let me just make that caveat through a bullhorn before we go any further. And yet, with or without…

Ten Things Writers Want But No One Can Give Them (Part 1)
In the world of writers, we want a lot of things—book deals, money, a few more minutes of Wi-Fi and power outlet riding before the barista demands we buy another cup of coffee… maybe a spot on Oprah. But there are things no one can ever give us, things no one ever WILL give us, and things the world may even do its level best to take away from us if we let it. We writers always and forever have to…
