Basically it&#8217;s all about celebrating new words and the words of those around you. It&#8217;s lifting each other up and enjoying the process of creating, with or without an end goal or agenda. It&#8217;s about trusting your own, unique voice and view of the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">You can see more about that over on my <a href=\"https:\/\/seenrobinson.com\/amyrobinson\/writing-workshops\/\">Writing Workshop<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Other than that, I am living with a handful of different chronic illnesses, some undiagnosed, but others the doctors have found labels for: Fibromyalgia, Cervical Disc Degeneration, Hashimotos, &amp; Macular Degeneration, with multiple eye surgeries. Most of my writing deals with grief and mental health issues surrounding the unpredictable nature of the beauty and chaos that is life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e9b087e elementor-section-content-top elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e9b087e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5d39e39\" data-id=\"5d39e39\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-613dac86 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"613dac86\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3585d34a\" data-id=\"3585d34a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-96d505d elementor-shape-rounded elementor-grid-0 e-grid-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-social-icons\" data-id=\"96d505d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"social-icons.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-social-icons-wrapper elementor-grid\" role=\"list\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-grid-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-icon elementor-social-icon elementor-social-icon-instagram elementor-repeater-item-767107a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/amyqotwf\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Instagram<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-instagram\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-grid-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-icon elementor-social-icon elementor-social-icon-mixcloud elementor-repeater-item-d50ca41\" href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/amyhenryrobinson.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Mixcloud<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-mixcloud\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home About Amy Writer\/Editor Generative Writing Workshops Contact Home About Amy Writer\/Editor Generative Writing Workshops Contact Hi!
