I'm as possessive of my hard-earned as anyone, and a fiend for value for money, but I hope that you write only when genuinely moved to do so. I think if you felt you had to perform for an audience, your work would become subject to the law of diminishing returns. Please go for quality not quantity. You have an individual perspective on the madness, a particular tone and sensibility, and churning out stuff like a Stuff journo will bleed this content out of your work because you won't have time to replenish.

Also please keep the conversations going if you can because if you introduce a wide range of people - not necessarily high profile, but possessing important or illustrative perspectives - this will provide an invaluable record. Since they are suppressed now, help our ordinary voices be heard in the future.

A wise, compassionate doctor AND a poet at heart too. That's impressive and inspirational.
