In the first grade I told my teacher my name was Crystal and I had an older sister who was a prima ballerina in Rome. She told me I should be a writer instead of a liar. So this is all her fault.

In the many years since, I’ve become an author, screenwriter and filmmaker. But before that, I was a blogger for twelve years. 

I love this medium because of the freedom: no notes, no restrictions. I love reading other people’s newsletters for the same reason. 

Permanent Retrograde is a reader-supported medium. Both free and paid subscriptions are available. The best way to support my work (and my children) is through a paid subscription.


This is Permanent Retrograde, a newsletter about happiness, sadness, lies and everything in between. No recipes.
