Love this, the experience and the way you rendered it. As a reading writer, I'd love to know even more about how your mother processed this as well.

Hey man, just wanna tell you: I always enjoy these kinds of posts from you. They're short and memorable, and the lesson at the end always gets me thinking. I still remember the stories of Nyad and the factory worker, as well as those three little words. They're all great, so I hope you do more of them at a reasonable pace for you.

Hey Linart, thank you buddy, I appreciate that. It's nice to get encouragement from you about the non-writing-related posts because I've been assuming that generally readers won't find them as valuable as the writing-related ones. Hmm. But maybe I'm wrong. Hmm. Plenty to think about

I think that's a good question to pose actually, and the best way to find out is really just to ask

Agreed. So would you say you have a preference?

Hmm I get more value from your essays about writing, just because they're tactical and actionable. But I'd hate to see you not write the story essays.

So it's like I'll follow you because of your insights on writing and creativity, but I'll trust and feel closer to you because of the stories that you write (especially the personal ones).
