For many years, I was scared. Of everything. Mostly I was scared of becoming the person I was meant to be. I know that sounds like new-age, Pollyanna, hokum, but it’s not. So much of becoming not only a writer but also the person we dreamed of being is unlearning all the fear that’s been heaped on us over the course of our lives. That does awful things to us. It does awful things to our voice, which is the only thing we have as souls and writers.
