I Think You’re Great
There’s nothing to explain here. You’re enough. Your peace, your energy, your efforts, it’s all enough. There’s was a time when I felt like I wasn’t doing enough no matter how hard I worked.

Creative Freedom, It’s Yours
Once you reach a place of creative freedom, your writing life becomes your responsibility. You must learn when enough is enough and when not enough is not enough. You must narrow down your own projects and expand your own ideas. What’s great about creative freedom is that it’s all yours. It’s all yours with noContinue reading “Creative Freedom, It’s Yours”
