Great to meet you yesterday - When Words Collide; you are FUNNY, and my gut reaction is that 'I can't imagine you not writing, speaking, storytelling and 'walking around' with a major focus on humour. I realize most 'comic' voices are troubled voices of trouble people - but whether or not that is you, you 'have it', something too many of us wish for is clearly/obviously, the 'nature of you' being you. You wear it well, like it's as easy as wearing your own skin. Cheers, Mark ... p.s. I'll write you directly if I can find an email address for you and I'll add you to my mailings list.

One thing I know is, that you are very good at calling out others when they get in their own way/hang on to some limiting belief. How to do that for onself? I sometimes ask myself why Im not doing the thing that needs to be done next - I ask what am I avoiding (some feeling, some sitting down because actually I need to move my body...?) I get as practical as that - or try to. My few thoughts on this. You will get there!

Susi - you're a doll. I do love calling people out when they're in their own way. Maybe even more talking to myself (out loud? in public?) will be the little shove I need. Also, it turns out that writing about getting in your own way helps - public confession?

What do you love about writing? Have you fallen out of love with it?

Thank you for this super provocative question. I need to think on it. I have not fallen out of love with writing, not by a long shot. But I haven't thought much on why I love writing. It's a thing I have to do, in a dancers gotta dance kind of way. There just isn't life without writing for me, so I've thought more about how I can do more writing than why I love it. I'll come back to this one!
