Honestly? My advice would be, if you really want to write, then do it! If at any time you feel like it's not for you— then quit it! I personally do not believe that writing is for anyone who doesn't really, really want to do it. So if you want to quit, then be a veterinarian!

Hi, I loved your quote about writing.and all the bleeding goes on. My best friend is an aspiring writer. I think she is a wonderful writer, but I can see how she bleeds at times. It is so personal to her, the words.She gets disappointed at times. Any advice you could pass along to her? :-) PS- I lust the words you write. I would have said Love, but lust is a much more powerful word ;-)

I just read a quote from you on vulnerability. "It's the hard things that break. Soft things don't break." Love this. It makes it so much easier to believe the abundant gifts of vulnerability when I consider that it deeply resonates with a part of myself that has been so denied...my authentic feminine desire. How do you view keeping yourself safe differs from staying "softened" in relationships? Thank you. <3
