Back when I featured E. Kristen Anderson, I didn’t mention this other cool thing that she does. She and Miranda Kenneally host a blog called Dear Teen Me where writers write letters to their teen selves. Advice letters. Reassurance letters. “You’ll get through it; it gets better” letters. The idea, of course, is that there are a lot of teens out there who may find solace in our words and our experience.

My letter to Teen Lindsey is up today. Gulp.
