What lovely encouragement for us writers! I agree with many of your reasons. Also, it's summer; people are out and about, as they should be. I may not read everything, but I'm glad I read this.

I also have often used public writing - blogs and social media - as a way to record life for myself with the bonus that it might connect to others.

It takes so much energy to hold ourselves apart from considering our lack. This is a very thoughtful and thorough list and I appreciate you so much for repobliching it.

In truth we read and take in what jumps out at us when it connects. Love these posts. 🌱
