Today is my birthday and I just published what is probably my most personal essay. I believe I’ve spent the last 6 years running away from my own writing success, mostly because I had internalized pervasive ideas around writing difficulty and struggle. I was chasing different online platforms hoping for a silver bullet because I did not want to embrace what might, in fact, be my natural form: writing essays. https://paragraph.com/@driftless/writing-through-denial?referrer=0x33514A171B0eC657a0237Dd388fAA4f39eE2a2E4

Thank you, my friend! What a lovely cast. It's the highest compliment you can pay to a writer, that you will return to their work in the future. It's so validating to hear that (because both writing and reading are private acts), but especially as I shift in this new direction. Thank you, again, for your words!
