This is great, Paul. I love the this emphasis on the book we *want* to write, too, because that's exactly where I am right now, and happy to be here. Thanks for this wisdom.
Yes, I totally agree! It's funny because the podcast is about the book one *had* to write--and when I thought about this newsletter I shifted the emphasis to *want*. Both connote urgency in my mind, by the latter is also shaped by desire and excitement. Anyhow, I am busy doing a rough edit of our conversation this morning, so I have your voice literally in my head at the moment. Excited to have this conversation out there asap :)
Ooo--how wonderful that Stephen's On Writing and Failure came out of a commonplace book! I assume most writing does...but it's cool to hear it acknowledged!
Thank you SO much, Jillian. This is quite the honor...I'm fanboying a bit tbh. I really love the amazing notebooks you've dug up over at Noted. Thanks again :)

Oh my gosh yes to desire, I am obsessed with the synergy between desire and creativity. And so excited about the episode, yay!
