Reframe Your Creative Style as a Strength
Someone told you your work was too niche or too personal, and now you're sanding off the choices that made it yours. This asks you to name two or three of those instincts, then shows where each one is a strength rather than a flaw. For artists, writers, and makers who started second-guessing the very thing that stood out.
