Excellent advice Nancy. And this is what it’s about…In a nutshell, don't wait until you have a finished product. Show what you're working on while you're working on it. This might help somebody else. It might help you.

I love ‘listening’ to your advice woven through this post. Getting to know you as a person is a delight. Thank you for sharing pieces of your life.

Oh, this is brilliant, Nancy. It's a terrific reminder that we not only benefit from new tools to capture our stories today but that the new ways we can share them can be transformative.

Stories ARE a form of conversation. They convey ideas and are enriched by the discussion they engender.

I just shared a not-quite-ready story with my own family in a massive group chat. It's interesting how we naturally develop these layers of privacy, eh?

Why would I write only on one side?

So that 30 years from now when one of your children tries to scan it, the other side doesn’t bleed through :) You have to think way ahead here 😏

Funny you should say that, yesterday I used a different pen and it bled through something terrible.
