Cup of Jo

Cup of Jo shows a small topic can matter when the writer cares. Ava Huang points to a short Cup of Jo post about nail polish that feels emotionally essential because the subject matters to its author. She uses it to show that a subject is worth writing about if it matters to the writer.

Huang's wider advice is to write only about what you actually pay attention to. Someone told her to write from reality, which unlocked her. Her source spells the name "Cup of Joe". Her quote: "write what you pay attention to".
