Hey there word nerds!

If you subscribe to the DIY MFA newsletter, then you know I\\u2019ve had a lot to say lately. In this episode, I reflect on some of the recent themes I\\u2019ve been considering, themes like service, responsibility, gratitude and love.

I also talk about some of the obstacles I\\u2019ve faced when building my author platform. These aren\\u2019t just external roadblocks that got in my way, but also internal factors and limiting mindsets that kept me from sharing my work. Listen in to the full episode below.

In this episode, I talk about several things, including:

• Why it\\u2019s so important for you to share your stories, and how in doing so you not only empower yourself, but you also empower others to do the same.
• The \\u201cfilter question\\u201d I use to assess all of my creative work, and how this one question helps me go from making a million tiny decisions every day to seeing \\xa0on the big picture.
• Bonus: This year, instead of doing New Year\\u2019s resolutions, challenge yourself to craft a filter question for your writing, your work, or even your life as a whole.

In this episode, I also allude to several recent newsletters and articles from DIY MFA. In case you\\u2019ve missed them, I have linked to these articles below.

• Dream Big, Execute Small \\u2014 how to reframe marketing from being all about you to being in service of your readers.
• Use Your Words \\u2014 why now more than ever, writers have the responsibility to use their words with integrity and purpose.
• The Radicalism of Our TIme \\u2014 in which I share a \\u201cbig, scary thing\\u201d from my life, and talk about the tension between fear and love.
