People want to become writers for how it “looks” or is perceived. We know as writers that the “real” writing process is often super ugly and stressful and non linear and very self interrogating (if you don’t outsource to a robot)

Remembering Sarah Vaughan (Thursday, March 27, 1924 — Tuesday, April 3, 1990) Born on Thursday, March 27, 1924, in Newark, New Jersey, Sarah Lois Vaughan came out of a deeply musical home, studied piano as a child, and sang at Mount Zion Baptist Church before the wider world heard what Newark already knew. Her breakthrough came after she won Amateur Night at Harlem’s Apollo Theater, which helped launch her into the orbit of Earl Hines and Billy Eckstine. Known as “Sassy” and “The Divine One,” Vaughan became one of the most technically extraordinary vocalists in Black music, moving through jazz, bebop, ballads, and pop with stunning range, control, and improvisational depth. She later earned nine Grammy nominations, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Jazz Masters honor in 1989. Vaughan passed on Tuesday, April 3, 1990, in Hidden Hills, California, at age 66. “I hate that title, ‘jazz singer,’ because I sing all kinds of music.” — Sarah Vaughn, 1981 NBC interview for KXAS-TV/ Fort Worth, Texas

She’s that woman whose hands are never still, whose mind is always creating, and whose heart is always finding new ways to serve and glorify God. A real life multipotentialite.
