What we’re unable to say

There’s nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein. ~Walter Wellesley “Red” Smith

The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say. ~Anaïs Nin

It’s a wonderful conference.
My takeaways on this second day have to do with
how deep I’ll have to go for this memoir
and
how much work I have ahead of me.
Maybe ignorance would’ve been bliss, but it’s too late now.
I’m all in.
