@Shani Raja I think this is where I often have a problem. I get ideas, such as the necessary balance of doubt in faith and how doubting Thomas gets a bad rep, or about the natural divergence between siblings as they age, or exploring anxiety and relationships. This past weekend, I was at my mom's 77th birthday party and coversation turned political, as it often does with my two conservative brothers, and my niece asked her dad whether muslims go to heaven. It struck me how much children listen and how one answer to an innocent question can potentially mold their future perspectives. My mind is constantly chattering in the background, and part of my struggle is finding an idea, maintaining confidence in that idea, and convincing myself I have a right to talk about it.

@Autumn-Diana Standingwolf It’s not so much walking away from ghostwriting as it is taking the time for my own writing. Ghostwriting still pays the bills… maybe my own writing will to one day. Pleasure to meet you, Autumn. Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome, @Olivia Grace . I’m also new here. It’s been a while since I used discussion boards, and I’ve never been one for social media channels, but no time like the present. Look forward to chatting with you and others. Best of luck!
