Me (Lauren Elkins)
A writer looking to create a writing community in a world lacking connection.
Why you’ll actually like it here
You’re not signing up for generic tips or self-help pep talks. You’re getting thoughtful writing from a real human (me).
- Over a decade of professional writing experience (technical writing for OpenVPN, creative nonfiction, and content strategy).
- Multiple publications and two Substacks read by thoughtful, curious people who crave meaning over noise.
- An engaged writing community. Because good writing happens in good company.
What you’ll find here
You’re not just reading. You’re joining in on the process of remembering, reflecting, and reimagining what it means to live a thoughtful life in a noisy world.
Tiny Memoirs
For people who want to write again.
Every other week, I send out a memoir prompt and a short reflection. It’s a low-pressure way to start writing the stories that matter most. The ones about who you’ve been, who you’ve loved, and what you’ve learned along the way.
The Ethical Technologist
For people attracted to absurd hyperbole.
My essays where the relatable meets the ridiculous. Each article aims to combine witty wordplay, sentnce rhythm, and a mock-serious tone to share my thoughts on the world at large. Think: malicious joy.
Me (Lauren Elkins)
For people who like behind-the-scenes stuff.
Occasional updates, personal essays, and glimpses of the chaos behind the calm.
