Hi Friends,

This is the eternal question: What do I do with all of my old journals, scraps of ideas, notebooks, and napkins? What if they hold the key to my best work and I am too blind, or too lazy to go through them all to find it? Well, this week we talk about: Intention.

And also, how are you using them now?

We also talk about the disappearing ephemera of writers, in general.

I mention “The Booksellers” a great documentary about the rare book deals in NYC. It was produced by Parker Posey, a Gen-X woman’s ride or die. I highly recommend.

In the meantime, take out one of those journals, find a particularly embarrassing page, and have compassion for that person trying to make sense of the world.
