Thanks for this post Kathryn. I just found your Substack and subscribed towards the tail-end of this tour and now it all makes sense!

This post, and your generosity, exemplify the true spirit of what I want to be as a creative: connection. I want my work to be a connection not only to my readers, but also to other creatives. And you've just done exactly that. Thank you.
