Hang around with writers for long enough and you will see the temptation to please the editor, the reader, or your parents is real.
I’ve noticed that as I develop copy for my book or a workshop, what changes is my commitment to the idea. What I need to say is emerging—the idea behind the action. The act of writing leaves everything else behind, including my worries and concerns about the idea.
Write for whoever you want, just don’t waste the chance to learn what you really think.
