Thanks for sharing your before and after samples. I remember reading your piece last week and appreciating it, but the behind the scenes regarding where it started is generous. I’m always so appreciative when artists reveal the struggles they face on the way to shipping their work. It’s such a service to all creators to be reminded of the humanness of fellow artists. I tried to do a bit of the same this week by sharing a story of how nervous I can get with an audience as a professional speaker. What could be more worthwhile than helping each other to be more human on this planet!

Thanks Rick! I always love reading your stories, even if I can't always comment on them (something about a custom URL not being accessible from my work computer). I love this idea of helping each other be more human on this planet :)

Thanks Becky for letting me know you've been reading and your resonance with the "being more human" mission. It's a definitely a key motivator for me in the speaking and storytelling work. And I appreciate you mentioning the custom url issue.

Agreed! Your before and after samples are such a meta way of how you're applying the "show not tell" concept! Reading your work a good reminder for me to dial back into the woman behind the curtain to connect with my audience - you're so good at it!

I agree. I thought the examples were great as well. Perhaps, you can find a moment to support a newbie here - I have ventured to write about my travels and experiences in India at helloIndia!

Haha thanks Camilo! This was a true lay-up essay born from my "most comment feedback" notes.
