“Il faut cultiver notre jardin,” —Voltaire
For those of us who don’t do fancy French, this means:
“We must cultivate our garden,” says Pangloss at the end of Voltaire’s Candide.
No sentiment could be truer for women who write. Stop focusing on the whole wide world. Instead, maintain a space that is your own and encourages the fruits of your labors to blossom.
But the process of growing our garden requires the right tools. Reading this blog and learning how to revise your own stories could help you cultivate your garden, obtain peace of mind, and establish your writing legacy. Happy reading and writing!

A Return to Writing
When I made my last blog post This is the End in Dec of 2019, I had no idea how prophetic that title would be. In the last three years, I’ve had a battle with chronic illness due to mold exposure. I’ve had to homeschool my kiddo—a Montessori dropout— since COVID hit. And my family and I moved across the country.
Regular writing and editing were not options for me.
But times change. And if you’re a writer, you’ll find your way back to writing eventually.
