Man, you are an inspiration! I turned 56 a couple days ago, and I often feel too old for these platforms. Your writing is fabulous. I so look forward to your posts, and they're also helping me improve my own writing and pushing me to keep at it.

Delighted to hear that. It took me a wee minute to settle in, but it probably helps that I behave as though I am still 25…LOL

The audience is everything.

I really respect this kind of clarity.

Show up. Write daily. Let some of it suck. Trust that lightning still visits.

That’s the work.
