Thirty years from now someone might find your notebook in a box. Write something worth finding.

Private writing has a strange afterlife. The page you scribble with no audience in mind is exactly the kind of thing that turns up decades later, and it will be the closest anyone gets to meeting the person you are at this age. That is not a reason to perform in it. It is a reason to be honest.

Write one real page this week about what you actually want and what is scaring you. Date it and put it somewhere you will not look at for a long time.
