Sometimes I'll write something and wonder if anyone will notice how I used my words. In case you're wondering the same thing...I saw and appreciated your clever wordplay!

Most "experts" will tell you that people will only read short articles, and there is ample evidence to support this idea. Yet, my Substack is quite a daily read and it's doing fairly well.

I'm terrible at brevity. It seems odd because throughout my life I've mostly written short articles and short stories both of which require judicious use of words. However, lately I've just accepted that I'm going to write what I feel I need to write and accept the consequences whatever they may be.

I’m always under the stack of stacks, but enjoy the ones I take time to read. I always enjoy your posts so you must be doing something right. When a post gets too long, I scan and that’s all I can offer. Always catching up, but blessed to be able to read so many great posts. Appreciate you!
