It was a very intense writing period and took a year and change to finish Picture Quote #1

Accept the fact that you’re an artist and stop second-guessing yourself. Just do it Picture Quote #1

I grew up in what you might call a relentlessly creative household. We were given art supplies, music supplies... Our mother knew enough to get us started and then stand back and not meddle.
