Christmas Eve Thoughts
I spent the day resting with my family and it made me realize I much I’ve been doing lately. It’s wild how work snowballs once you’re moving and meeting and zooming around town.

The Lives
Learning about the lives of other artists makes my soul light up. I don’t know what it is. I’m not even sure if it’s every artist but there’s a possibility it could be.

Maybe you can help me out, I’m struggling with my main character. She’s got a great arc. Some challenging circumstances and she’s got opinions and weaknesses.

The Roots Are Intertwined
On the love of learning Some people like to think of learning, life, and time as linear things. I’m more of a B theorist, (but I’m not so committed I’d stake my life on it). We forget sometimes how living and learning something new can be like having too many tabs open and trying toContinue reading “The Roots Are Intertwined”
