This next post gave me goosebumps. As I read I knew what she meant about not writing to the market. I also had running around in my head a book I’d like to maybe possibly write--deals with suicide--sort of shoved it aside, cause well, it scares me a little (okay alot!). So, I get to the last line in the post:“This is what you have to offer the world: Yourself. Put it on the page, even if it's scary.”
Like I said...goosebumps.
Here’s the post:
