Thank you for writing this. The "what's enough?" question has prevented me from hitting send on that rough first draft for 4 months now. Reading this, I realize I've been avoiding answering the question for fear my number (and therefore my aspirations) would be revealed as not lofty enough.
Since for me the purpose of writing is to make one think, then you have succeeded. This made me think of a lot of what I was already thinking. Right now, for me would be enough if I reached that one person who could change almost everything in my life. That person isn't me. So I stopped writing and I don't know when I can do it again. But that one person in this moment would be enough. Because if I reached that person and make them change their mind about that one thing that started everything ..then yes, that would be enough..for now it would be more than enough.
This was a great read. I never asked myself what would be enough for me and for what I put out there for others to see and read. Thanks for giving us this perspective about writing, I am sure it will be useful for many of us.
