This absolutely never ever occurred to me to do and now I look forward to attempting to adopt it for my own writing practice. Similarly I never consistently kept a journal for fear of others reading it. So inhibiting. I also write personal essays and like that I am in control of what I share about my own life. But the contract makes it that much more consciously intentional. "Making that line clear has helped me focus on living like I would like to, instead of how I'd like to be seen." Thank you for sharing your process and ideas!
Oh wow! Thank you so much for the kind response. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope the practice is helpful to ya! I just read your piece on funk and friendship btw, really loved it! Feel like that VMB intro is going to be stuck in my head for a while haha. Excited to check out more of your stuff :)
