Knowing what I want to say, what’s coming from my heart, and what’s not. It’s not refinement in the editorial sense of the word; it’s refinement of sincerity.

We love to say, “We have to go back to the drawing board.” It sounds decisive, humble, even wise. But here’s the irony: most of the time, we were never at the drawing board to begin with.
