Sometimes I'm conflicted about what I'm writing, or not feeling I am up to the task, or want it to be "perfect." It always helps to stop writing whatever I'm writing and do some journaling or thinking through internal things. The important thing is not to take it out on the work. The work has ears, someone once told me. Treat it kindly.(less)

I don't know who or what I'd be without it.…moreThe same thing I love about playing music: you're never alone. Art is a way of being with yourself. I don't know who or what I'd be without it.(less)
