I have gone through a couple of your works and learnt a great deal. I used to feel like a writer in my head but never embraced it. For a long time. It took a close friend, with whom I'd spend holidays having long calls with, to accept my writing and myself as a writer. To take it serious. To believe it. To do it.
19 Oct., last year I started my Substack publication, Emmanuel's Letters, and in-between demanding academic work and swathes of time when I couldn't discipline myself enough to write and publish, I am proud of the work I have done.
And it is only the work I have published, that is mine, that leaves a mark, that touches someone and makes a part of the world a bit brighter.
(I love how you reintroduce yourself with a quote in every post. Reads like intros in podcasts. I must copy that.)
To end this rather long comment, join me to say cheers to one year of publishing. I love your work and would binge you. Thank you for writing?
