Idea: not that anyone has any more time for anything else..but what about some kind of touch base group….ya know? see how we are doing silencing her and squelching her up.
Not sure what that would look like.
Possibilities endless….800 phone call once a quarter? once a month? once a week?
a voice chat?
ck in by dm's or tweets?
a tweet discussion for all to see #innercritc but based on the filtering discovered of late perhaps no?

Ever the goal she's ousted for good. :)

I'm working on that unedited self thing every day. Seems to be easier with the camera and the sketch pad than the written word, but I think that's because what I write really represents who I am...and it's not always what I want everyone to see..

I agree with you -- it would be really too bad to be facing one's last day on Earth and taking an account of all the risks one didn't take. Still, I've got to say, facing down that voice and keeping it quiet is one of the biggest challenges I've had. Thanks, John.

Karoli, I think your Editor is simply akin to the proverbial 'cranky old librarian', who shushes people as they make exciting discoveries in the course of their learning.

Go ahead, copy the masters. How do you think *they* learned?
Because YOU are different, I guarantee your work product will be different, in some small way. Or perhaps a big way. Who knows?

Our end seldom comes at a convenient time. I think it would be a hell of a dismal thing to lie on one's deathbed enumerating the different ways of saying “Gee, I wish I would have tried that…”.

Yea, we're all going to have a few regrets when we pass, but there's no need to add to the pile while we still have our choices.

Take care,
John

I've found this to be the hardest part of blogging (which I've been doing for a much shorter period of time than you). I have ideas in my head but my Editor kicks in and tells me all the reasons why I shouldn't write that or how no one will care and I just never get around to getting down what I wanted to say. <br><br>I, for one, find your writing to be thought-provoking and easy to read. I look forward to reading your unedited self even more in the future. What a great post.
