Audience

The hardest lesson for me is discovering the bittersweet truths about having an audience. Of course I wish my parents, siblings, cousins and friends wanted to read my writing, hear my music and see my latest paintings but it doesn't go that way. It may never go that way. But there are people who enjoy what I do and somehow they find my work. It is very gratifying to communicate even though I have no control over where my work will end up and who may end up listening. I must remember that.

Emily,

Never fear. Your friends read your writing. I was just singing your praises to a friend last week. I am in utter awe of you (not to be confused with udder awe). You are a huge inspiration to me, I hope you know that.
