i have so many thoughts about notes to john. it feels so daunting to see a journal released without her permission, after she's gone. i understand the deep want to know the people we love reading at a more profound level, but it feels bonkers
LOVE YOU RIGHT BACK! it does feel bonkers! people keep preaching their love for joan but they’re not really respecting her privacy, i wouldn’t feel well to read something like her journal as someone who analyses literature and also as a writer, I think we would feel very violated if our personal diary was out for everyone to see it like that.
Oh my gosh this was the best start to my week! Thank you thank you for sharing my piece Amanda! I'm was so excited to see my article included amongst so many other writers I read and admire :)
OMG!! Caroline!!! I’d definitely include all of your pieces every week because you’re just talented like that!!!! I love all of them! 🥹🫶🏻✨ So excited over the new format and so excited to keep reading more of your beautiful work! love u!!!!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷
AHHH!! FREYA! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! THANK YOU! I'm so excited about this new format and I can't wait to share more things 🥹✨ I feel like we've been friends for such a long time!
Over time, we've seen each other evolve and getting closer to where we want to be at, as writers, so that makes me truly proud of us!
The age-old question, chicken or the egg. Anyone can write, but it's those who can make the words move you and sing. Make the mind form ideas and pictures with words alone. You can do that. Some are born with it, they just get it, see it as it should be. Some individuals have to work at it, and it requires time and extensive practice. Others just can't grasp the concept. Not that they can't, they just don't have the skill. I feel you possess that skill and understanding. The drive in you that makes it special. I liked to write and draw as a kid. I never pushed myself or had anyone push me. Now, I am playing catch-up, and it bites. I think it's the same with music, math, and other things that we see people having the talent to do excellently. Ultimately, we are all just humans striving to do our best for everyone. Some are better than others. Leave our mark. Sometimes my fear is, i never did enough or anything and I may end up like millions of others, a drop in the ocean of life. Forgotten and distant. This is one way to keep our thoughts and ideas alive for all time. I think you are wonderful. A great writer now and in the future. Sharing is the mark of your goodness and a sign of your caring for those of us who struggle.
