“On paper, things can live forever. On paper, a butterfly never dies.” – Jacqueline Woodson
The blank page is yours to dominate. You don’t need permission to fill a blank page with your desires. Sometimes I do feel like I’m seeking out permission or hoping a magical little writing fairy will hover over my shoulder and nod in approval. The thing is, I’m the nodder. Well, that’s how it feels. At this point, before sharing it with my writing friends, I have to validate my own work. And even while taking feedback, I need to make sure I’m appreciating my own unique style. Writing has so many beautiful pieces to it and I’m truly learning to enjoy the ride.
