•You’re not a writer if you’re not published •You’re not a writer if you don’t write every day •You’re not a writer if you don’t outline No, you ARE a writer—even if the only thing you have written this month is a grocery list. You have a story to tell. Persist! #writing #writingsky

A poem by Mary Oliver has been rattling around in my heart and head for the past week. “Here is a story to break your heart. Are you willing? . . . I mean that it break open and never close again to the rest of the world.” Artists, the world needs you now more than ever.
