I love how you are reframing that from scarcity to abundance, the craft of writing fueled by the spirit or generosity.

This is so good, Ruth! Somehow I missed it when you first posted, and I'm so glad that someone else linked it and I saw it. I love to think of writing as hospitality--two things dear to my heart that I have somehow never connected before!

After the last 7 years, this is the part that makes me shudder: "and even foes." But I AM trying to get back to my desire to share and help people instead of walling myself off in self-preservation. And I love the thought of writing as hospitality!
