Re: “I find writing to be extraordinarily difficult. I read The Elements of Style. I read Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird. I read David Sedaris constantly to study comedic pacing and essay structure. But actually getting the words out of my head and onto the page feels like passing a kidney stone.” I don’t think this is true. You’re obviously massively talented. Just accept it and keep going.

I appreciate the kind words Mark, thank you. I still find it very difficult but that’s probably why I persist.
