Great piece, couldn’t agree more. I stopped doing outlines for my essays and stories because it just hampers the “spontaneous truth telling” you talk about

So great! A friend sent me a plaque that said "it is much simpler than you think," and your piece reminded me of that - it is simple, yet we so rarely do it. I find that this groove of being true to yourself was easy to come by about 5 in the morning when all the rest of the world is asleep - at least that's when i used to write when working at/owning a bakery. Thanks for sharing your inspiring and honest words and thoughts.
