Sarah, hi. On reflection, it seems that many people on Medium refer to ‘writing’ as if it is some unique task … a function outside of themselves. ‘Work,” even.

But is it? And should it be?? I suspect it is something natural, even fundamental, to many and thus needs no defense, justification or explanation.

For me, I write because I enjoy it and know it is ‘great exercise’ … even a medicine for whatever ails me. Perhaps it is equally so for you?! If so, there is no need for concern as to the ‘quality’ or range of critical opinions / responses … such issues are highly distracting and wasteful. Don’t you agree?? It’s all about fun: deep-seated fulfillment!

Just answer the call when the bell rings inside you!! ned
