Send us Fan MailToday I'm going to build a case for reading more fiction! ALERT! I referred to the book The Road To Tender Hearts as “light and fluffy”. There are several TWs in the first chapters.

Send us Fan Mail"My personal belief is that anybody who doesn't have self doubt or who is not criticizing their work is creating shitty work. It's vague, it's weightless, and it doesn't have any depth to it. I think criticism is that standard, and it's that purity in our brains that's saying, "I'm going to ensure 2 things: 1) that you really want to do this. 2) If you are going to do it, it's gonna mean something." and that's where I think self doubt is amazing." -Trevor StoddartWelcome to DAY TWENTY ONE of our new 30-day COMMUNITY PROJECT where we make something with our hands every day in order to improve our mental health.
