Thank you, Tina. At the writer’s conference, one speaker urged us to write down ten ideas about whatever we wanted to write, to set them aside, and then write down what comes next. What comes next is deeper, more interesting and more universal by way of being closer to our individual experience. I imagine the dark comes up in the first batch if you are being honest with yourself; that seems to be where the media and world consciousness is right now. Below that, beyond that immediate knee-jerk reaction is the personal and real experience of being alive — what is most needed and valued by others reading our work. Wow, what a long response to your kind acknowledgement!
