Here’s a blog post for anyone who needs a little bit of encouragement. Keep going. Keep trying. You never know when you are going to get your yes. Or the sign that helps you see that you do indeed know what you are doing.
This past year has been so hard and long on many many levels for everyone in the world. Teaching during a pandemic is among some of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. Writing during this time felt frivolous and I asked myself repeatedly “who even needs my stories?” And I’ve decided that I do. I need my stories. I need to sit down and tap at the keyboard. Even if no one ever reads them. Putting words down onto the page to capture the snippets of the day and snatching a title or idea out of everyday conversations makes me excited and feel connected to the world.
So this is just to say, I need YOUR stories too. Keep telling them. Keep writing them. Keep sharing them.
