I would hope that there's a poem of mine that some child will read 200 years from now and say, "Oh, look at what she wrote 200 years ago." But you can't think like that, you just have to write for now. You have to create in the now. And you have to allow yourself to be yourself. This is a profession, as you know. All of us know this is a profession that you have no control over.
So if you try to please your current audience, it's going to make you crazy. What you're going to do is write and remember that you are your first audience. You're the first person who reads you, you're the first person who hears you. You want to please yourself. You want to say, "Well, I've done my best." I think that's all any of us can do.
