Terrell, Bird by Bird is truly one of my favorite books. I find myself opening it up at least once a week not only for her wisdom but for a laugh. I just think Anne's hilarious. Thank you for sharing this today. I resonated deeply with your words and Anne Helen Petersen. Hope your week is off to a great start.

"Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird." My brother and I use that quote on one another more often than should be allowed. It's a beautiful, remarkable book and what gave me the push to finally think it was okay to "try" writing for myself. As for as the Anne Petersen piece (thanks for putting that on my radar)--I signed up to do the Camino de Santiago--all 500 miles of it--on my own. Being in nature--whether it's running or walking 22 miles, day after day--that's how I tend my personal acre.
