The story why is great to remember as is the coddling- child analogy. Thank you.

Anat, this post is so friggin’ good! I’m not sure I’ve ever felt this good after reading a post and, simultaneously, or maybe less than a second later, felt so incredibly creeped out by the picture that accompanied the words. 😆 I’m being serious about the former, and not entirely kidding about the latter.

Jokes aside, this “story why” concept is great, as is the honesty about authors treating their stories like babies, for better and worse. I’m a fan. Subscribed!

I think my dog is the best dog in the world and 99% of German Omas agree! hahaha And she only has one eye, so imperfections can be perfect.

I can identify with the idea of wanting to do something and getting the basics aside so you can do it. I need to find something for myself that gives that much conviction.
