Yes to doing our best work when we're tapping into our natural talents! Sometimes I think I should be drawing and dancing in addition to writing my novel. Not off the table! It's always a time and priorities decision vs. not wanting to dip my toe into another creative pool.

I so admire your approach! Passion + talent for many things, but focus on one at a time. What kind of dance?!

I grew up doing tap and jazz! I’d love to learn swing or ballroom, and I’m deep in the ballet world with my novel research. I just saw a reel the other day about a woman who started ballet in her seventies! Went en pointe by 76, I think? I was blown away. So who knows, but never say never!

Thank you, Kara! 😊 Do you have something you enjoyed in childhood that you're using in your work?
