You. Are. Not. Alone.

Welcome to the companion clubs of “I don’t know what to write” and “if I write will anyone read it?” Membership is rarely free since it will cost you time, brain power, and way too much self contemplation. However, I find the perks and joy of joining these clubs in the showing up - writing because it’s time - not because of topic. Good for you for setting aside the time. Nothing is wasted there!

Agree with all of this. A big part of it for me is believing that every single time I write, I get better. Even if I can't see how, writing is always better than not writing.

This is something I really admire about you, Jack. When you commit to something, you are unflappable my friend.

Listen, who can know why things turn out the way that they do?

Excellent point. For example, it may have been your genetic inheritance that was determinative in this case.
