I love that you shared this about your process, because I started making notes and visualizing the cover of the poetry collection I'm working on pretty early in the process, and I was so worried that I was getting way ahead of myself, but I think it really did help me feel like I was actually doing it! This has also helped remind me that I need to get back to figuring out next steps. I think I started realizing I was getting closer to being done and got scared about inviting more people into the process for editing and publishing. 🙈

I have made many a cover, published 6 books, and still your creative process is inspiring (and a lot like my own)! I loved following you through the steps. At first I was like, I have no idea what my poetry book would even look like, I don’t have enough poems anyways. And then, your words, pictures, and style - sparked something! Thank you 🙏🏻
