My insecurities don't arrive during a project but afterwards. Was it worth the time, expense and effort?

You know...something that's as strong or as transparent as I want it to be. In other words, if the dragon is a stand-in for my fears then I am the one that allows the fear to enter in the first place.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-47346360984759056732015-12-04T08:42:54.707-07:002015-12-04T08:42:54.707-07:00Yeah, lol.
