This one hits close to home. I've considered myself a pretty good writer - of computer code. The bar for that is low. It works, or it doesn't. Mistakes I make will not cause planes to fall out of the sky, just annoy those who bought the app. When it comes to writing words for people I constantly fall short. Yes, I have deleted most of the first pieces I wrote for Substack. I did change the name of my stack from "Meaningless Drivel" to something less punishing, but I still feel that my free stuff is overpriced.

Thanks, Jim.
That was a beautiful comment, Jim.
A heart doesn’t sufficiently express the depth of my love for this post.
Thank you, Ben!
