Lovely partnership and I love the focus on courage.

I love Tom's story and I always learn something new from him. I'm here for the bleeding on the page too, lol.

Great stuff, Magdalena and Tom!

Thank you! The β€œbleeding on the page” truly speaks to so many! @Tom Kuegler : it should be your signature quote!

Thank you for sharing Tom, and thank you Magdalena for a great interview. I like the description of bleeding on the page and the balance of sharing vulnerable, personal stuff and by so doing making others uncomfortable or not.

I find that I bleed on the page to when I write and have to take a lot of dark moods away from the writing I finally publish. What I take out goes into my personal journal instead.

That’s a great idea: to put the very dark stuff into a journal and publish the rest!

Thank you Magdalena. The bonus of the habit that those dark paragraphs will make a very good foundation for a book a bit further down the road
