Finding my own story embedded within someone else’s…
“…I spent most of the last decade creatively paralyzed and emotionally disconnected from my writing self.. After being unable to generate new work, successfully editing my short story collection generated the confidence, focus, and strategy I needed to complete three new stories. Taking the small step to do what I could, loosened the constrictions of failure I had wrapped tightly around myself… I didn’t have more time or less children, but my mental state had shifted… Doing what I could turned out to be a gargantuan gift to myself. It has revealed that I can write a novel, I just needed some strategies to do it with the life I have now.”
Hoping to own this book of hers someday, autographed.
And finish my own.
