Encouragement is such a quiet but powerful force—those ripples reach further than we often realize. I love the idea of being the pebble in the pond, not for grand gestures, but for the small, steady impacts that create lasting waves. Writing, in its rawest form, is an act of courage, and the space to be seen and supported makes all the difference.
Mary, I hear you, and I appreciate your belief in me. Right now, though, I’m still navigating my own ground, and that takes everything I have. If the time comes when I feel ready to contribute, I’ll know—but for now, I need to be where I am.
“I keep writing because that process — not of catharsis — but of the creation of something other gives my life a fullness I think only the attempt to create art can do.”

You, Jay, have plenty to say for Feasts and Fables' manifesto -- and I'm betting on you to appear here.

This rings so loudly!
So glad, Susie.
