A week ago, freed from involvement in the recent election (over which I felt extreme anxiety) and my drive to finish the revision of my historical novel, I felt a long-absent burst of creativity. Though excited and energized over my "clever" short story, I knew its light-hearted and ironic voice couldn't carry it. You've reminded me of the importance of my protagonist FEELING the town's anxiety. Thank you, Jen.

🩷 Love it, Nancy!
Thanks, Jen. This is a great reminder of how to channel anxiety. Much appreciated. Len
