Welcome to the Royal Writing Center

Where Sarah Royal reports she'll write sporadically 👑

Hello, internet!

You've found yourself at the location where you can semi-regularly read some musings from Sarah Royal, that lady from New Jersey who is somewhat famous for curse words, obsessed with The Golden Girls, wrote a biography of Lucille Ball, thinks Jawbreaker lyrics are poetry, lives with two children and a partner in a one-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn, and maintains that the Negroni is the world’s best drink.

As you might have guessed from that first paragraph, I have a fair number of interests that may or may not be easily connected with coherent dots—so if I had to describe what this lil listserv is going to be about, well, it’s going to be about everything. There will be lots of Golden Girls-related stuff, for the Enough Wicker crew. They’ll be some insider info about the Lucille Ball book, with the forward penned by my good friend* Amy Poehler (*I have never met Amy Poehler). There will also be—and I can’t stress this enough—lots and lots of em dashes.

It’ll be about whatever I want it to be, really. WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE ME (said in a Dorothy Zbornak voice, obvs).

To be honest, this is really just about putting a regular writing practice into place. I no longer have the space in my life to spend late nights cuddled up with a copy machine and a long-arm stapler making zines, but maybe every month or so I could write up a little something here about whatever happens to be the latest in my brain. In between Negronis, of course.

Read along if you so choose, subscribe and all that, and (obligatorily) thank you for being a friend.
