"What will people think of me" is something I struggle with! In fact, I think it's this very thing that has kept me from coming back to art sooner. What will people think of me if I try and make art now? That I'm washed up? That I should've just stayed away? That I have nothing to offer? Well, hell to the no!

I say I am a writer and an artist. And that this truth remains no matter how my heart feels, no matter if I'm prolific or in hibernation, no matter what. I am and will always be.

Thank you for giving me this safe space to declare that out loud!
