Really glad you're sticking with it! Not that it matters, but just to provide some perspective: I've been writing for a living for about 20 years, and also writing for myself for longer. I greatly appreciate your posts and your perspective. (Usually I send posts to my Kindle so that I can read them later but I read this one right when I saw it; didn't want to wait.) A track record of experience matters far less than what our writing aims are and for what it's worth, I like what you're aiming for.
For me that's all it is, really. All writing is just an essay in that it's an attempt or an aim at something. It always falls short but also gets us down the road farther than where we'd be had we never tried.
Thank you James, it means a lot to hear that! I'm sure you know how isolating sharing online can feel. It's nice to know I'm making sense to atleast a few people! It's been great to meet you this year.
…real deal have been sitting one year on publishing a piece on becoming a jester (for hire) all because i never found (or made) the right suit for the job…2025 is time to put on the frills bells and whistles and just do the dance…surely, i jest…
Hahaha I had a feeling you'd jive with this one. I can't wait to read yours! I have been quite busy with my own writing and life this year, but I always look forward to your pieces whenever I get the chance to read them. We need more trickster energy around here. Happy New Year!
Giving up the need to be understood is so huge, and so freeing—when I manage it.
It's so tough to stay in that headspace! 2025 needs some trickster energy though :p
Glad to be reading your words. Cheers to more writing and art in all its forms.
Thank you Janet! Happy New Year!
