At the 2026 #PENGala, we asked writers about their unhinged writing habits. In the process, we learned the "very cruel" expectations Maya Hawke puts on her friends and family. And, thanks to B.J. Novak, we've put together the ultimate hack for overcoming procrastination, Ann Patchett-style.

“Writing is glamorous. Reading is glamorous. Freedom of speech is glamorous," said B.J. Novak in his welcome speech at the 2026 #PENGala, using the examples of Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, Kaia Gerber, Dua Lipa, Emma Roberts, Laufey, Harry Styles, and Ann Patchett to explain why.

We asked writers at the #PENWorldVoices Festival to share some of their most unhinged writing habits and, among other things, found at why some houses are cleaner than others. Also, do not try all of this advice at home. #writers #writing #booksky

CARNEY: We will be cooperating with other partners in critical areas like Ukraine, where it's outside of direct NATO responsibility but consistent with our values as Canada. We stand there, Ukraine is going to triumph, and we're going to be on the right side of history for that.

Flu vaccines protect more than individual health. As economist Dr. Wayne Winegarden breaks down, higher adult vaccination rates are directly linked to fewer hospitalizations, lower mortality, and billions saved in avoidable economic losses. Tune in: ghlf.org/healthcarema... #vaccines #vaccineswork
