Thank you for the thoughtful piece. I loved this part: "To write is to create. To create is to come to terms with a finish line, if even for a moment."

Thanks for the post.Being at present in a bit of a slump, I'm especially appreciating this: "I wonder as I write: What keeps surprising me in the story I’m telling? I wonder what happens next that could be explored and shared in the least expected way." Keep 'em comin'!

“Remember that trust and sincerity can be lost as quickly as the blink of an eye.”

Indeed, And while most everyone appreciates being able to trust someone, not everyone loves sincerity. I love sincerity.

Thanks for this.
