You know, I found you on YouTube chatting with a co-founder of Ream. Then I got your Unstoppable Writer book, then found you here on Substack - which thrilled me to bits. With each discovery, I'm learning you and I are so, so alike. It is both refreshing and reassuring to see that I'm not the only one.

I tell you this in case doubts about revealing your backstory ever crossed your mind in the wee hours of the morning. In baring your backstory, you have given me hope.

I *can* make something of my life that I have left (even though I'm over 50)

I *can* write the way my inner self has been trying to all these years

I *am not* hopeless.

Thank you so much for sharing so much of you!

Your comment means SO MUCH to me! Thank you! You are amazing and worthy and awesome, and I know this because you came here to ease my own anxiety about this story I'm telling. It sure doesn't present me in the best light, sometimes, but it's part of my journey, and knowing that it is inspiring you makes it worthwhile. <3
