I’m back in your inbox, your feed, etc. It’s been a few days since I’ve posted, and even over the past few weeks, content has been pretty sparse, for a few reasons: midterms, hefty weekend plans, and in general, lots of big changes happening in my life.

Everyone should write.
I really think they should. For yourself or for an audience, it really doesn’t matter. When you write for yourself, there’s no need to hold back.
