In Public; In Service

On most days I write thousands of words, yet publish precious few of them.

When it comes time to share, a familiar voice pops up in my head and reminds me of all of the reasons why “I can’t” publish.

This voice: what Buddhists might call “Monkey Mind” and Julia Cameron would call the “Inner Critic” is universal. Its projections are common to anyone who creates: regardless of discipline, skill, or practiced experience ignoring it.
