She shares why it can feel both uncomfortable and energizing to try something new—and why that tension matters. Research shows that stretching beyond the familiar can boost motivation, deepen engagement, and open new creative pathways. Polly reflects on how creative risks, even outside your primary craft, can build confidence, spark fresh ideas, and ultimately strengthen your writing.
