“Everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”

Afternoon commute.
I love the sparkle days, the glittering expanse of ripples on a giant’s salt sea pond, and the water conversations of unperturbed paddleboarders that float up to me as I walk home.
Writing is how I communicate to myself, and thus to others. When I capture a thought, secure it, label it, define it, interpret it, I can finally master it. As E.M. Forster said in a completely unrelated context, "How can I know what I think until I see what I say?"
