      <image:title>Blog &amp; Artistic Attempts - The Leaves of Ireland - If you dropped me into this scene as a child, I am team Rose. Bring the receipts.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The oldest child, the experiment, the one trying out the schools, camps, and swimming lessons before traumatizing the gentler siblings, the baby babysitting babies. Saddled with responsibility, absent for accolades, it’s a rough gig. I relate to her need to stick to the facts, no doubt advocating for her due credit when it was due. As an adult? Well, maybe that’s different.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This is the best painting I’ve ever done. I know this because it was the only time my professor said “you’re really onto something interesting,” and the other students didn’t comment on my “process” as a way of avoiding critiquing the actual work. I count this as a win.</image:caption>

Someone who works with people using these superpowers while also trying to keep her life together.” But when I looked at it a few days later, it had transformed into a one-act play about a walking stressball of boundary issues that writes sometimes. While trying to keep her life together.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Liz Verna - I’ve been writing since I got a little red diary in the first grade and immediately began filling it with lies to hide from the invisible audience I felt sure would think my thoughts were terrible.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This was my first taste of the inner critic sitting next to me on the school bus, censoring me, protecting the world from hearing my true feelings about Gina’s ear-piercing drama. It hurt, Gina, we get it. And though I had a deep and abiding love for my Crayola 64 pack with the built-in sharpener, I had clocked my lack of natural art talent in kindergarten. I can’t tell you why Eileen’s rainbow was better than mine; it just was.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Writing Rules - Journaling lets you reflect your self to yourself.</image:title>
      <image:caption>A journaling practice is a way to recognize defense mechanisms that tell you to pretend you feel great when you don’t. It’s a way to understand why you do those things you don’t understand. It’s a way to smooth out the wrinkles of the past and untangle the present. It’s a superpower, a tool you have right at the end of your pen. It’s calming, you can leave the stress on the page. And it’s easy, and easy is so easy!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Writing Rules - Journaling</image:title>
      <image:caption>gives words to feelings, making them easier to look at and manage. It feeds your creativity, keeping problem-solving or new perspectives fluid. It eases stress, shaking anxious energy out of your body with the back-and-forth movement of your hand.</image:caption>
