someday

“Some day… there will be a story you want to tell for no better reason than because it matters to you more than any other… You’ll stop looking over your shoulder to make sure you’re keeping everybody happy, and you’ll simply write what’s real and true… That’s when you’ll finally produce the work you’re capable of.”
-JD Salinger to Joyce Maynard
excerpt from At Home In The World : a memoir
by Joyce Maynard

I found this on somebody else's blog - and I thought it was so true - especially to me - especially now. That is why this blog is a secret.
