I have been working on two writing projects. One is a compilation of original poetry and the other a novel. For two years now, I have been chipping away at these projects.

Poetry and Me
Today, I am working on my poems, and I must have hit a nerve. I began to squirm. Writing from a place of vulnerability can be exhausting, in part because of the emotional toll it can take on you.

Releasing Writing Fears
I like writing but I am hesitant about sharing. Self-doubt, apprehension, and fear continuously rear their putrid heads over and over again. The self-doubt and apprehension lead me to write.
