The pressure to be “always on” as a writer is soul-crushing at times.

Some days, I’m not feeling clever.

Some days, I’m not feeling particularly insightful.

Some days, it’s a slog to string five words together.

Rest is good. Non-writing activities are good. Stepping away is good. You don’t have to write every day or take any other advice that doesn’t feel authentic and true to you as a writer.

Imperfect days are a really, really important part of this journey.

Absolutely floored and ✨honored✨ that 500 of you have subscribed. 

Slowly but surely, I’m finding my way on here. Thank you for the guideposts.

I’ll continue to share and put myself out there. I hope you do, too.

Fun fact: in addition to creative writing, I also love photography! 📷

And I’m lucky enough to live in a city that is ✨breathtaking.✨

Aside from writing, what do you like to do?
