because she has to
Hello. Janelle here. I write because I have to (hence the title) usually about creative blocks, writing, self-doubt, seeking beauty and joy. I'm still not ready but doing it anyway. I've miraculously managed to write here consistently since April 2023

“I am always delighted when another of Janelle's letters appears in my inbox. Her gentle voiceovers are a treat, too, carrying me along ruddier climbs and unexplored valleys as she engages wholeheartedly as much with the nature on her doorstep as with the voice within.”
