We’ve talked for years about writing our story, but talking is safe (and cheap) and the blank page is not. This time we’re doing it: we’re each contributing to a chapter in Kim Coles’ latest anthology Legacy GIFTs, a project built around gratitude, intention, forgiveness, triumphs, and self-love. And once we say it out loud, there’s no hiding from the work of putting pen to paper.

We get honest about what writing feels like in real life, especially when you don’t think of yourself as “a writer.” Leslie shares why drafting can feel like a chore, how intimidating it is to be asked to contribute to a best-selling author’s book, and the very real nerves that show up right before feedback. Angella talks about the power of a consistent writing practice, pacing for a 3,500-word deadline, and why accountability can be both loving and ruthless at the same time.
