We can’t control the circumstances that life gives us, but we can take our stories marred by brokenness and tell better ones. We can hold the broken stories of others and help them tell better ones. We can change the broken story of our world by telling better ones. It starts with us.

We all need to know that there is a resolution.
We all want to know that the struggle that happens in our lives is for a purpose. That our souls are connected to something deeper in this world that is bigger than we feel.
And that is why we instinctively create stories.

Writing and telling stories is really about healing. Growing. Expanding. So it’s no wonder the full process involves rewriting.
Sometimes we don’t realize what we’ve thought until we look back on what we wrote.

We grow up editing ourselves.
We are all raised understanding that we need to sound like someone else—someone more credible, more professional, more popular—in order to be taken seriously.
We are taught for our entire lives that our authenticity isn’t good enough. I’m here to tell you that it is.

There are 3 ways to get better at writing:
1. Write every day
2. Live fully present
3. Love well
If you are overwhelmed and only investing in the last 2, you are still improving as a writer.
Keep going!
