While I'm in the process of wrapping up my first "real" book (in my mind), I want to share a collection of stories I wrote back in 2014, that can help you on your journey if you are just getting started.

Fear of failure, jumping from idea to idea, etc.

...its unedited and raw...but it's now free...enjoy.
