Read this last night and I’m still thinking about it.
“Writing is about honesty. It is almost impossible to be honest and boring at the same time. Whenever I am stuck in a piece of writing I ask myself, “Am I failing to tell the truth? Is there something I am not saying, something I am afraid to say?” When the answer is yes, the writing shows it. There is a softness, a tentativeness, a rot to it that telling the truth instantly dispels.” – Julia Cameron, The Right to Write
Nice to be reminded that scared to death “can I really pull this off/can I really say that” feeling just means I’m doing my job.
