Don’t be stifled.
What stifles you? It’s not about what stops you, nor what makes things difficult for you. When I made a little list about what stifles me, I found it was all within me.
- getting it right
- not doing things wrong
- feeling like I’m a silly girl in the middle of a cornfield
- thinking I shouldn’t spend time writing my stories
The world likes to stifle storytellers. Don’t be stifled.
