I love the idea of leaving some of the original abstract thought in, because the problem is that when you pick up a pen you become a snob, your own worse critic. You edit yourself in a way that is non-creative.
“It is your passion that empowers you to be able to do that thing you were created to do.”
“Am I 53 or 54? I think I'm 54. I was born in 1941. So this year I'll be 55.”
