This resonated; I read it twice. Also, does anyone know how to find a therapist who specializes in writers? :-D

Oh wow. I read this right after therapy, so it especially resonated with and gutted me! I found that the authors I most connect with were among the offenders in my same fear-response type. It was a kindness to get to the end of that series of gut punches and find myself in a group of authors I admire, so thank you for that. Loved this post, and I will be sharing it with my therapist!

Dammit I knew you’d catch me. Fellow Fawn freezer in fact. Delightful wreck that I am.
