Your post was a timely and terrific reminder to be true to ourselves - in writing and in life. Thank you. But I also have a few questions. Nice knitting! What is the pattern and yarn?

Also... cinnamon roll prince???

I love this! I must constantly remind myself not to compare but it's so hard. I've also tried writing to a trend and that failed, but like you said, I'm glad it did. I think I'm just now settling into what types of stories I want to tell. It feels good but also scary that no one wants it 😅

For things that worked: craft books, talking craft with critique partners and intentionally working on a particular skill, Scrivener--I'm a plotter and this program works so well with my brain!

Great wisdom, Jodi! I’ve learned that I HAVE to outline. I can’t pants a project. #PlannersUnite

If you don't mind me asking (feel free to ignore), tell us your boring skincare products that work, please?
