Or both? <b>Jan</b> I am smiling reading your comment after hitting up against that very block you talk about. If it seems too 'significant' we can easily get stuck. The way I normally try and get round that is to focus on intention rather than significance... words that count, words that matter for just one other person, rather than globally which can quickly get kind of scary... Can't wait to see where your own journey takes you... thanks for sharing some of it here Janice glad it resonates with you :-) What do you mean by access points… ways in for you as writer (artist)? or ways in for the reader?
