“No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.” ― Virginia Woolf

Day #22. I am a great believer in action. But sometimes I do too much. Sometimes I push & strive when what’s really needed is a little time to let thoughts percolate, to let the fruit of a story ripen before being picked. And, remember too, that you don’t need to add metaphorical glitter & bows in order to shine because you think what you’re doing isn’t enough. Readers love writing when the heart that created it resonates with their own. You don’t need to dress up your heart. Simply express yourself. This is all you can do. Trust that this is enough.

Azra Q This is great advice Meena and. Quite true!

I struggle with finding a balance, but I do find that when I step away from my thoughts/ writing for a bit, I can revisit and edit what I wrote with crisper, clearer lens - and then the words all flow again.
