We can’t let fear of being misunderstood keep us from sharing our work. Not everyone can get everything, and that has to be okay.

Sometimes we go a few days or weeks without writing and feel disconnected and dissatisfied. Try not to despair. Your true creative self is always with if you know where to look.

Nothing we dream exists outside of us. Just like our stories, it starts within us and then we dream it forward onto the page and into the world.

You must be willing to tell the story you most want to tell in the way you most want to tell it. That is freedom. 

Writing is a great way to practice creating on purpose, rather than accidentally or by default. The blank page asks what we want, and only we can answer that.
