How you doin'? I've been doing some things...
​

• As of today, I have quit instagram.
  ​

Insta has been really stressing me out. I'm glad you are here so I can keep in touch via email.
​
I'm sad to lose the connections of IG, but relieved for my own sanity. I have enough acts in my circus.
​

• Last week, I was interviewed by one of my FAVORITE people, Andrea Hylen.
  ​

We talked about how I started writing, the process of deciding what to share vs keep private,

getting feedback on stories + why private spaces to write first are so freaking essential!!!

​Watch here. Listen here (podbean) or here (spotify).

• And hey, has anyone else been feeling overwhelmed?

That's a trick question, because OBVIOUSLY YES, you are.

Oh my god, the world we live in is so insane, distracting and complex.

​I made a video for ya about being overwhelmed & being multi-passionate and wanting to write.

And even got a little silly with it,

but for real, being overwhelmed is a killer.

More often than not, bring overwhelmed means you won't write at all.

Overwhelm means something gets cut,

usually something you really want to do.

Ugh, I am so sorry.

No, really it sucks.

AND almost any time I hear people talk about overwhelm, they blame you,

YOU, the person feeling overwhelmed,

as the source of the problem.

You aren't to blame if you are overwhelmed.

Things are overwhelming.

You only control a segment of the things.

But still I want to help!!

My class on Thursday is going to dig into the overwhelm you probably feel around juggling all the projects you have

-- not just writing, not just your writing, but different parts of your life, also.

And we are going to get into everything on your plate,

where it sits, what's going on, what's important and how to juggle it.

We are going to figure it out.

Enough so that when you think about the million things going on in your world,

you go from this:

TO THIS!!!!!

Ah that's better!

And everyone knows that when you feel like a magical kitty-lion,

grounded, self possessed of your amazing LION-ness,

present in meeting yourself where you are

-- with no distraction other than your tiny bird friend

because everything is organized and on paper so you focus...

you get a lot more writing done.

Pretty much all kinds of stuff gets done,

and us kitty lions have more fun, don't you know.

No, but really....

I explain more about overwhelm,

trying to fit writing in, and

what's going on in my upcoming class in this video. ​

So watch it if you feel overwhelmed.

For once I didn't ramble and kept it to a few minutes.

​It's only 7 minutes long!!​

I even put a blooper at the end.

It made me laugh.

Hope you like xo
