THIS!! Twenty-somethings have a new messenger for what it means to take imperfect action and TRUST. The pain is worth the outcome. Love this: "My brain was a hand grenade waiting to explode." A year will fly by and we'll be there! Well done, YOU.

Well, all that writing also loosened you up for your blog. Like training for a marathon and running a 1K? This is a really great read —thanks!

Missed your blogging. Glad to hear of all your detours and your perfect description of what it must be like to write a book. I have four grandsons in your target market. I’ll be buying four copies.

Congratulations! None of this is easy, even when you have all the free time and every resource at your disposal. And obviously, the last 12 months have NOT been that for you!

A thoughtful reminder that good creative processes can get real messy. It’s okay. Love the radical honesty and vulnerability in this.

Congrats on the book! I'd love to learn the process of going from hobbyist writer to published author. Is it really as simple as "write a tonne on public platforms and share your works aggressively" to get noticed by publishers?
