Filling the Well: Finding Rest After Creative Overdrive
I’m sitting outside on my deck, soaking in the perfect fall weather. It’s in the mid-seventies today, and the leaves are just beginning to turn.

When you’re in a dark place and everything looks like it will suck forever, it’s hard to dream. A little over a year ago, I was there. I got fired from a job I hated—one of the top two worst I’ve ever had. I disliked most of my co-workers, dreaded showing up every day, and felt completely stuck.
