KR I appreciate your writing. I find your articles bring a huge relief from obsessively worrying about the state of our country and the world. Sometimes we are own worst enemies when we let ourselves feel like we're not good enough. So for an outside of yourself view... you are good enough! Go forth and write!!

Thanks Donna! You are great!

I truly do appreciate you so much! Your kindness has been very helpful on those self doubt days. Truly! 💜💙💜

I'm a self doubter as well KR. I know the feeling well!!

Just keep cranking it out and you'll figure out what brings you joy and purpose, right?

I can't read everyone's stuff every day. Especially about the global pedos and their wars and scams.

Some of my favorite writers post multiple times a day. I'm not even going to try and read all that. I'm running a different business and it involves 12 hours of screen time (2x 27inch screens) a day, plus managing a team. Who has time to read?

Having said that, here I am. I obviously took a few minutes to check out what you were on about. LOL Did that sound British?

So yeah man, I wish you all the success in the world with this. And you know that's the truth or I wouldn't bother to blab on like this.

You definitely have a talent for it, so just find the flow and write whatever the fuck you want, and have fun doing it, and we'll see where it leads.

Thank you so much! I appreciate you saying all that William! I really do.

Sometimes it gets frustrating, but I wont give up on my dreams! I cant! It's just not in me at this point.

I truly appreciate you taking time out of your busy life to come comment and interact with me like this. It means the world! 💙💜💙

I’ve learned that when you are yourself, you provide your best. It is authentic and shows passion. That outweighs stale repetition in content like you talking about. Same stuff with a different label.

Yeah, thats what I have to do. Be myself. . . It really ends up being the same like 5 articles, redone hundreds of times.

I've definitely felt this many times. I'm in the midst of one of those times now.

It sucks! Its hard to deal with. Self doubt is the worst!

We have to push through though. Not for others, but for ourselves.

You've got this, Brandon! 🥰

I loved your article. Especially when you write you " like the concept of actually finding joy in the things I read, even if they are just informative." We have a podcast where we discuss joy 😊 I'll DM you about it!

Okay. Sounds good! 😊

Hi KR - This is a great piece. I really related to the feelings of failure but you shone a light on those dark places and re-energised my determination. Thank you Bruce Keogh

I like funny and entertaining. And there’s always someone who wants to read what we write, even though it feels like shouting into a void at times. I remind myself constantly that I am writing to learn to write better, and I like to think that at least one person is reading.
