What I’m Leaving Behind (and Carrying Forward) as a Writer
The end of a year is always bittersweet.
We look back at the words we wrote, the drafts we started, the goals we chased. We celebrate the progress and feel the sting of what didn’t go as planned.
But here’s what I want you to remember as 2025 comes to a close: you are not behind—you are becoming.
Every scene, every sentence, every pause… it all adds up to the story you’re meant to tell.
And as we step into 2026, I want you to know you don’t have to do it alone.
🌿What I’m Leaving Behind
This year, I’m leaving behind…
The pressure to sprint endlessly.
The shame of inconsistency.
The lie that I should be able to figure it all out on my own.
🌟What I’m Carrying Forward
Instead, I’m carrying forward…
Rhythms that honor my life and my calling.
A renewed commitment to my stories.
Community—because writing is lighter and richer when we do it together.
And that’s exactly why I created something new for us in 2026:
