I’m a writer, editor, blogger, crafter, and speaker, currently writing a book about creativity, fear and failure, expected in the spring of 2014. I’m fascinated by creativity, crafts, publishing, and varied topics related to independent business and practice in these realms. I’m the editor-in-chief of The Holocene, a digital microzine for crafters, makers and curious people that’s in the very early stages of development. Through Mighty Ugly, I help people and groups battle the demons that hold back their creative exploration.
