an experiment
Dear readers,
Welcome to this little experiment we’ll be conducting together.
I’m turning this monthly newsletter into a weekly blog.

Showing my working outs for February / March
Hello and welcome to this month’s newsletter where I share the journey I’m taking to stop being so much of a consumer and more of a creator.

How I rediscovered my writer’s voice thanks to the Amherst Writer’s and Artist’s Method
I have always wanted to be a writer ever since I heard my first story. I love being transported to worlds I can never inhabit, peak into lives so different from mine, be someone /something completely different.
