Bonus! Commitment, Failure, and Resistance
In the spirit of authenticity, I'm sharing my raw, rambling creative thoughts while on a hike. I recorded this with my author clients in mind, and I use a lot of writing analogies, and I talk a lot about my first book, Mark of Stars, and how we have to be willing for things to feel hard in order to improve. It's the same with T1D. Please forgive all the traffic sounds! I was coming down the south side of Waterworks Hill in Missoula, which is right by I-90.
