I honestly don’t know how I can do proper justice to put an artistic voice to what a painful position that is. Sometimes I wonder if I live up to being artist in communicating such a voice.

Bullshit. Who, other than you, is more qualified for this? No one I've ever heard of.

especially if your story shakes. Hell, I'm not saying it'll be easy. I suspect if you do it right, it'll hurt like fuck. But you're obligated and you know it.
