This is all well-stated, particularly the idea that "building a creative life does not come from living in a specific place." I had a similar epiphany about the purpose of writing itself (coming in a newsletter scheduled for next week): "Growing as a writer involves the gradual realization that you're answering a call from somewhere in your soul." I look forward to more insights from you and other Midwest Creatives!

Inspiring reading!
I am a visual artist recently relocated from the Rocky Mountains to Minnesota. Looking for creative Midwest community.
Is this the right first step on my path?
Excellent piece Macey!
Love the theme you've chosen for your collaborative writing...and your writing too!
Very proud and you are very talented.
