Hello lovelies!

I have been doing lots and lots of thinking about what I want this space to be, and instead of changing it on a whim (like I have several times!), I’ve given my thinking space and time.

I shook my brain like a snow globe and this is what settled.

I wanted to create something for writers.

I mean, I’m a writer. But I didn’t always feel comfortable calling myself a writer.

When I say “writers,” I mean all kinds of writers.

Including writers who are scared to call themselves writers.

And I figure, if you’re a writer who happily calls themselves a writer, maybe you can inspire the writers who are scared to call themselves writers.

Or vice versa!

OR BOTH!

We can all inspire each other!

So, you’ll be getting new content at a slow and manageable pace.
