This post came right on time this morning. Loved your headshots story. So relatable. I have been struggling with self doubt this week. Everything I’m working on is completely new and requiring a lot of vulnerability. I’m finally publishing my writing after years of only letting a writing group see it and I’m starting a new business after years of being in a ‘safe’ corporate job. Needless to say I’m feeling exposed!
Brenda that just made my day - so thanks for letting me know. You are not alone. There's just a different story playing in your head! Vulnerability is definitely a muscle. And thank you for the restack.
Your photos are beautiful, and I’ve been to that park with the swing in San Francisco! I feel like self-doubt is a big part of the writer’s process. Most of us have to work out how to let our pieces go in spite of it. I just hit send on a pitch this morning that I’ve agonized over for way too long. This post was a nice little push!
I feel like parts of our conversation yesterday inspired this. Because after I opened the Rick Rubin book and saw that sentence, and I knew what to write! So I'm glad it gave you that push to send out your pitch. Thanks for the shout out about the photo. Always feels good. It's at Bernal Hill in SF that has a panoramic view of the city.

I do too. And it feels like it all came full circle.
