Artist‘s Statement

This past year I have mainly been working on unfinished projects. Inspired by the procrastinators welcome workshop, I implemented many of the tips that were shared to fulfill these unfinished works. Two of the main tips I used includes A) making my projects more enjoyable by writing them with my mentor or a group of friends, and B) changing my critical writing mindset into one that was more forgiving and patient. Implementing these tips allowed me to enjoy the writing process and find my voice.
