Dear Reader
Say yes. That’s one of the most striking pieces of advice in this month’s packed issue, and it comes from a perhaps unexpected source, singersongwriter Kathryn Williams. Say yes to things beyond your skillset; say yes to things you might not yet know how to do; say yes to creative ideas even though you don’t know how they’ll turn out. Start writing, says Kathryn, and you’ll find a way. I couldn’t agree more. Without wishing to be overly fanciful about it, the best art in any medium, the most memorable, the most affecting, doesn’t come from a safe space. It comes from artists stepping outside their comfort zone. It comes, most importantly, from trying something new.
