A little pruning...
As an editor, writer, and gardener, my love for language and flowers often intertwine. Gardening is so similar to editing and writing!
I've lost count the number of times I've dreaded the task of weeding my garden, only to find that it brings me more joy than I expected. If I were to leave everything to grow freely, it would turn into a chaotic mess. However, by revisiting the garden multiple times during the growing season and carefully removing those plants that clash in color, style, or simply overgrow, I can create a lovely final result.
Writing a book and creating a garden may take some “tough love,” but I've found that a little pruning is the perfect way to create something that can be cherished for years to come.
