You are the gatekeeper
I often wonder what I would have done if I was a twenty something year old in the 90s or even 80s. Would I still write? Maybe I'd have written articles for a magazine or newspaper and I'd have tried to make a career out of writing. Maybe I wouldn't have tried to put my … Continue reading You are the gatekeeper
The wrong perception
How you view yourself impacts how you act. How you act, influences how you are perceived. If you don't think much of yourself, it'll show up in your posture the way you speak and the kinds of things that you say.

If you can't say what you need, you probably won't get it. If you've ever been that person you might have been lucky enough to find someone … Continue reading On learning to voice your needs

On one hand you could stick with sharing your work on a blog because that is what you know, are good at and are familiar with. There is a big difference between being closed off to new things and knowing what works for you.
