5 Things I Learned From My First Book Signing

It’s All In My Head
People often ask me, “Have you always been an artist?” “Of course I’ve always been an artist,” I say with an undertone of resentment for the fact they didn’t already know this. “Just because this is the first time you’ve ever seen me paint something, doesn’t mean I’m making it up right here on the […]

Who Thought Writing Would Be The Easy Part?
