Welcome to the Side Path!

I'm glad you're here.

The Side Path is the companion newsletter to Traversing Tuesdays, a place where I share creative inspiration, behind-the-scenes glimpses into Three Pines Junction, world-building discoveries, and occasional observations from life outside the newsroom.

Some issues may explore the creative process behind the show. Others may feature character stories, notes from the garden, wildlife encounters, books I'm enjoying, ideas I'm wrestling with, or the paths that lead from everyday life into fiction.

If you've spent any time around my work, you'll know that squirrels, snails, talking water glasses, and scribbled notes for song lyrics for bands I have created out of thin air have a habit of appearing.

Sometimes I share photos of my cat, because of course I do.

This is a space for creative people, storytellers, dreamers, and anyone trying to make room for curiosity in a busy world. Many of us are navigating limited energy, changing seasons of life, and projects that refuse to stay quietly on the shelf.

Most of all, I hope these emails feel like creative company.

I'd love to hear from you. Hit reply and tell me what you're working on, what's inspiring you lately, or introduce me to a beloved animal companion. Cats, dogs, chickens, donkeys, reptiles, and unusually charismatic rodents are all welcome.

Thank you for joining me.

Warmly,

EmKay
