Dearest Friend,
\nWho are you reading? I wish we could enjoy a cup and
\nyou could tell me what happened to the story you sent.<\/p>\n
I heard your tribute. I drink much less\u00a0 than Baudelaire,
\nbut I chuckled at the words as much as I sympathized
\nwith your shaking hands. Stage fright doesn’t equate
\nto being ill-suited to the stage. Lose your self-consciousness.
\nand you won’t realize – or care – that you’re onstage.<\/p>\n
Have you filled that notebook yet? If you haven’t or lost it,
\nfind another and fill it. Lose your consciousness of having to be
\nright the first time. Make all the mistakes now. Make all the mistakes
\nyou were too careful to make. And write them all down.<\/p>\n
