Let Me Tell You A Secret

I loved literature, I wrote, and I adored books.

That’s what I brought to the table when I started blogging. I had no idea what I was doing, so I paid tons of “experts” to teach me what they knew.

I still failed. I lacked the confidence to blend my skills together + put myself out there. I didn’t have a community of like-minded creatives.

The best tips, tricks, or courses won’t teach you how to create or find your authentic voice, passion, or motivation to keep going. The internet is full of courses and self-help gurus that sell you that stuff already.

I’m not one of them.

Selling nothing.
Writing everything.
