The world needs your story.
We all have a story to tell.
It lives inside of us, waiting for the day when we will give it life, speaking or writing it into being.
But the birthing process—a labor of love—can be intimidating, on so many levels. Where do I start? What if I’m not a “good” writer? How can I figure out what to include and what to omit?
Sound familiar?
If so, I need to let you in on a little secret: It doesn’t have to be so hard.
