vol. 4 issue 1 Greetings! It’s really lovely to be back. It was even better to be gone. So, where did I go? To a tropical island, lapped by waters of many blues and greens, the beauty of which my dinky phone photograph below can only offer a hint.

Hey Whitney! New subscriber here. I love your commentary in this piece. Especially the way you talk about breaking free from the mental billboards and cultural imperatives.
The last few months, I've been mulling over how to reconnect with my imagination and creativity. I keep coming back to writing, but I don't know how to get started. I have a bit of a mental block... I keep getting stuck thinking about the "correct" way to express myself, the "correct" words to use, and the grammar rules I must follow.
Do you have any tips for getting started, or have any go to writing resources you've used to stimulate free flowing creativity and inspiration? I felt so much of your voice coming through this piece and it got me really excited to continue exploring writing for myself
