Yes, I need that external validation too, and Substack has been great for that, yet makes it hard to do any writing that isn't for Substack. Sounds like you are getting some inspiration from Julia and setting up what you need to move beyond, Pamela!

Highly recommend Julia. Also Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird, which also preaches the efficacy and wisdom of small, consistent action. Some of us need external accountability and validation, like your dad, and that's perfectly okay as long as we know it about ourselves and put support in place. You've got this!

Thanks Maggie! 🤗❤️ I am one that needs external accountability with projects that take a long time to achieve and the results aren't seen until completion. As the saying goes, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I am certainly grateful for the writer's group and for you who keep me motivated and inspired to get to the finish line.
