But I get what you're saying; write for yourself and stop worrying about impressing the audience. I fell into that epiphany quite by mistake a few weeks ago when it occurred to me that I was spending so much time worrying about what others thought, that I was no longer actually living.

That's how you build a community. Be yourself. I hope the job of shepherding celebrity dockets leaves you the time you want to explore. Hey Michael – this is always a good time for a fresh start.

New focus.
New attitude.
