I found a great quote from Sarah Anderson, and I thought I'd repeat it for all my fellow artists out there: It's okay to be a late bloomer. Everyone moves at their own pace. The pressure to do things at a specific time in your life takes away the vital space and thoughtfulness needed to … Continue reading Inspiration for the late bloomers

Merry Christmas!
I just wanted to wish everyone a merry Christmas. I hope the day — whether you are by yourself or with friends/family — is a great one. If you don't celebrate Christmas, I hope you have an awesome day too. You deserve it.

Writing every day used to be an ideal, a goal. I thought I must be getting somewhere if I improved my skill every day. I had to be. How else was I going to get better?

One friend sends question marks my way, shocked she could even win. Another jumps off the bed and runs towards me with an acceptance email … Continue reading Late bloomers unite
