When we write, we give a piece of ourselves away, a piece we can’t ever get back. And when we know this is going in, what are the ways in which we can prepare for this?

Can we:
1. Say yes to writing the project
2. Think about what we have to say no to (temporarily) to make the space to write/create/submit
3. Plan to give back to ourselves what we temporarily gave away.
