I’d be so grateful for your help with a review of the podcast Stumbling Toward Genius on iTunes.
Hi Cynthia! This really struck home. Especially the idea of respecting our characters and slowing w-a-y down to create the complicated stories of our hearts. Thank you.
Rhonda,
I’m glad this episode struck a chord for you! And it’s true, slowing down usually helps, doesn’t it?!
Glad you liked this, Rhonda. It was a real, deep, true lesson for me that continues to serve. So I am happy to pass it along.
Thank you Cynthia, I really enjoyed listening to this in the wee hours (2am) as I wrestle with a writing project that seems to be taking a lot longer than I had planned. Your advice is always priceless,and my anxiety monster gets the much-needed shove back under the bed. 😉
Bises,
Heather
So glad this was helpful for you Heather!
