When I spoke to my mother this morning about my fear with my writing, she showed me this video.
A nice little reminder for every creative mind who feels the dread of producing something good enough.
In the past few months my video camera broke, my camera broke, and I have some time between jobs where I can actually sit down and write.
I have been very busy neglecting this gift, but after watching this, it’s time to sit down and write.

Powerful. Thanks so much for sharing. I love TED talks, and Elizabeth Gilbert.
Looking forward to your travel writing Danielle!
Really great reminder that creativity is a gift, not a burden! Thank Gillian!
We need a reminder sometimes, don’t we? Looking forward to our fall picnic! x

Hahah not Fox news! Well she managed to raise a very bright and well balanced woman so I’m sure she’s an amazing mother too!
Wow, girl. I can’t believe that YOU of all women were having a tough time with writing. I so admire your eloquence with writing so this especially spoke to me. Keep plugging away, Gillian. You are SO incredibly talented. Love you!
You are so sweet Heather – that means the world to me – thank you! You are such a talented young woman yourself!
