I enjoyed reading this so much Ben. You know what I sensed as I read this? That you have an unflappable trust in your creative process, and that it doesn’t exclude all the lows, the insecurities, along the way. You understand it’s all part of it, even necessary. To not be “strategic” with your long term plan, to jump into stories as you feel them speak to you, to abandon and shelve and then return again, I think these all point toward your profound, big-picture faith in your creativity. And boy is it bright. It’s an understatement to say how happy I am to be one of your fans and excited for all your future endeavors.

So inspiring, Ben. Makes me think I should revisit my five books and see what drives them and connects them (to me and to each other) as I continue to struggle with bringing a new book into the world. It's an honor to be on this journey with you, friend. Keep on pantsing. It's the only way to fly. 😉

Happy holidays. 🥂
