Tuesday, just try it: Writing what no one must read.

I don’t think i have ever written ANYTHING without thinking in the back of my mind that someone, someday may read it.  Every journal entry, every computer file has had that thought behind it.  So because of that everything I write has been self censored, something I wouldn’t have reflected on except that Joe, this month’s artist in residence has set this challenge.

Here’s a quick challenge for you.  Anyone can do this.  Write down, as short as you like, something that is true, but something that you feel like you must never let anyone else read.  Maybe it’s something lots of people think, but you feel is forbidden to say.  Maybe it’s a truth that could be painful for someone else to hear.  Maybe it’s something of which you’re ashamed.  But write it down, right there in front of you. In black and white, as clearly as you can say it.

By all means, dispose of the evidence if you wish.

And dispose of it I will, lest the censor visits again.  Here I go…
