I think probably just thinking it'll be good because it feels good to do.
And I think that connection is...
the most important thing to me.
Like, does it feel good to be doing it?
Does it feel as if it's important to be doing it?
Does it feel like... Sometimes there's an imaginary reader as well, like, will they get something from this?
But most of the time it's just...
yeah just chasing that feeling and the more you do it the kind of the more experience you have of yourself not necessarily of writing but of yourself and how you'll behave but yeah once it's once it's done and it's out and somebody's reading it editors in journals or people in the world or the press or whatever once that's happening it it can have a slightly more terrifying
slant to it, but you know, that's what friends are for and wine and that sort of thing.
What do you think?
Yeah, not for me.
That's all you've got to say.
But you don't actually have to say it.
Has it always been like that for you?
Did you have to learn that?
It was always a decision you could make and then...
Well, you said it's important that you don't think like that.
Did you have to learn how to not think like that?
No, I had to change my behaviours a lot with how I would treat my work.
Yeah.
