Sharing
Feeling a little under the weather today. Tired achy headache blahh. Taking it easy this evening. I’m sure I’ll feel better tomorrow. Even though I’m taking it easy, I feel like it’s important to share something. I decided it might be fun to share my Creative Writing professor, Antoinette Brim-Bell’s work. I’m happy/excited to beContinue reading “Sharing”

There’s a story going around that Hans Christian Andersen fell on his face and sobbed from getting critical feedback about his writing. (I’ve been there,Continue reading “Choosing What Feedback”
