Thanks. As a new writer, it's so hard to balance the need to produce with the creation of "art".

Okay, I read this sentence..."Let’s make the things that we love, that feel right to us, that we desire, we crave, that fulfill us, and we think belong out in the world" and literally, audibly sighed. Just let. go. And the rest of the post was great too. Thank you, namaste.

Damn, Jami, this was lovely. Such a great twist on “what good looks like” and how to turn our kaleidoscope just so, to see our work in light of our whole writing life--as well as the project in front of us. Thank you.
