Cleaning the attic and finding tax returns from the 90s, old credit card bills, all sorts of stuff that goes in the shredder.And... a box of my college #writing Huh. I wondered what had happened to that box. Opened it. Flipped through a few pages, recoiled from the prose in horror.Shredding it. Shredding it all.

@mwl Weak. Open a new Kickstarter project and auction it all to the highest bidder."Read Lucas horrible, no good, atrocious, just plain bad writings from way before!"Then give money to uh... Charity. Or OpenBSD. Or both. With 5% set aside for your gelato budget.Come on, Lucas, I triple dare you.

@mwl Nonono, please leave something to your posthumous biographers! They want something to recoil from too! They'll have to have something to explain that the author grew on something.

@mwl don't forget to leave it in 9 or more bins as Vonnegut suggested

I feel much better for having destroyed that college juvenalia.Seriously pondering shredding the Trunk Books next. I mean, I have sixty published books out. I don't need stuff that was unsaleable in the naughties. #writing

@mwl I really wish I had the very early pieces of music I wrote. Not that there were any good things in it, but to see how far I've come for when the Impostor Syndrome rears its head.

@mwl Brains can be a bitch sometimes. (Can I use gendered insults for my own body parts? LOL)

@mwl Sounds like Hemingway, who reportedly took the typescript of his first novel out on a boat and threw it overboard.

@mwl I have so much old paper lying around I might break down and buy one of the light volume shredders these folks sell. My juvenilia, if it still exists, will be disposed of once found via methods pioneered by the late George H. Goble. https://www.semshred.com/shop/paper-and-optical-devices/nsa-listed-paper-shredders/
