Book therapist, author companion? I love that sound of those. I think it can't help but make your book better, while at the same time, making you better. Love it! Keep going.

“trying hard to stop scrambling endlessly to justify my right to tell the story and just tell it” oof. Maybe shame can be the near enemy of humility (in the positive definition: “modesty, lacking pretense, not believing that you are superior to others”) It certainly gets in the way. Good luck and keep going Asha.

Hi, Jackie. I'm so sorry to hear that. But that's not actually the thing I'm talking about. The near enemy is an internal experience, not with other people. If you have the time to read the original newsletter, it offers a really detailed explanation. I think you'd appreciate it.
