The biggest thrill for me as a writer is when someone tells me that something I wrote changed their life. What an honour to have had such an impact on someone’s ideas.

I’m thinking of that as I start a new writing project. My goals for it are:

Be brave. Be dangerous.
So I’ve gathered my notebooks and I’m rereading them. There’s always passages that I repeat over and over, years apart.But the repetition tells me: must dig here.

And there’s parts where I use initials only because even in writing just for me, I could not say more. Must dig here
Brave writing. Dangerous writing.

To do both involves risk and risk always comes with consequence.

So I am dancing with my courage, cajoling it into the beauty and joy that being brave and being dangerous lead to.
