I appreciate Dan for writing this:

I feel it sometimes when approaching certain topics on this blog; I think: there’s so much I don’t know, and there’s so many others better qualified to speak on the matter.

My words don’t have any weight. I’m not qualified to talk about anything. What right do I have to write? Who gave me permission?

Me.

Being a writer is an act of perpetual self-authorization.
No matter who you are.
Only you can authorize yourself…
No one else can authorize you.
No one.

Everything you notice is important.
If you notice something, it’s because it’s important.
