Let go of the label and create your own rules. Choosing to do this, is about your values and that’s all that matters. Without the label, you can do YOU. Flexibility is what I need to commit but don’t be fooled, maybe you actually need the label to have strict rules to be able to stick to it. HA, it never is a one size fit all! Tricky, hey?

It’s a Tuesday morning, and I’m late for work. I was supposed to work at 10am, now it’s 10:33 am. I got lost in the Palanca Awards application page, followed the rabbit hole to see a bunch of people getting their books published, their essays awarded, and all other things that “aspiring” writers want and “legit” writers have — a published work. Better, a published “body of work.”
