My journey this year has been to find my niche, the intersection of my interests, skills, and goals. I believe everyone has a niche and finding it allows you to create your best work. I haven't found mine just yet but I think I've gotten closer.
Recently I've been questioning my writing. I've written a lot but am I writing the things I should be? One of the key goals of anything I write is to be honest. But there are levels of honesty. You can write the truth while masking it
