Hannah <3 as always, I relate to your emotional experiences so deeply. I am beyond amazed at what you’ve accomplished at the Triplex, and I have no doubt about your literary career. You are someone who exudes magic -- artist magic -- writer magic. It’s right there, swirling around you, glinting in the sunlight. I can see it clearly. Don’t worry. It’s not going anywhere.
I really liked this! There's so much stress we put on ourselves around writing that we really shouldn't. There's a great essay The Stinging Fly recently published by Sheila Armstrong that touches on this: https://stingingfly.org/2023/05/10/the-house-that-shame-built/
But for what it's worth, I think your amazing community work on the Triplex absolutely absolves you of any writing-related anxiety. You've been busy! The words, as always, will come.

Love you and your words. You'll get there - you always do.
