Hey M. Quick question. Ever destroyed your work? I have a whole series I wrote a few years ago, the fate of which is currently undecided. I’m not the same person any more, and I don’t feel that work is representative of me. You’ve had a bonfire of your work, haven’t you?
Yes. And if I had to again, I wouldn’t.
We’re constantly changing. That was you at one given point in time. Of course you’re not the same person. Five years later, you’ll look back on work you’re doing now and wonder if you’re still the same person who wrote it. You won’t be. You’d have changed.
You’ll constantly change. And your work will always continue to reflect who you are at a given point of time. Be proud of it, even if it embarrases you.
Put it away. Don’t look at it. But don’t destroy it.
