Thank you so much. I haven't even read the article yet, but seeing writing advice that is NOT about "building a brand" fills me with joy. Whenever someone says "build your brand" I want to run screaming into the forest never to return or write again. It drains the fun and free creativity of writing and smashes a beautifully strange peg it into the square hole of capitalism.

... now I've read the article ...

Loved it. Good advice. Agreed that Facebook is an absolute mess that loads too slow. Also I'm not a fan of TikTok. Generally speaking, I hate social media. It's just one more thing to keep me from writing and reading. But I like your advice - be sincere, authentic and stick with that you enjoy and that will provide the inspiration. Thanks again!!!
