An analogy for you from baseball. Everyone wants to hit a home run. You have Babe Ruth, etc. But they also struck out a lot.
"Tony Gwynn was what baseball calls a contact hitter. He just wanted to get the ball in play for a hit. He led the league in hits seven times. And, this is key, those hits turned into runs and he five times was one of the league leaders in runs scored."
I read a lot of different writers on Substack. Everyone of course has their own style. I read your writing because it is insightful and makes you think.
So, keep hitting singles, doubles and triples consistently and sometimes you get surprised with a homerun.
That’s such an incredibly thoughtful and kind thing to say. I’m speechless except to say thank you, sir. I’ll try not to disappoint and keep at the small ball.
That is very kind of you to say, sir. Thank you. A wise friend recently reminded me of Gene Autry's birthday and I try to do right by the Cowboy Code and to speak and write with honesty. In doing so maybe make someone's day a little brighter, just as others have done for me.

When someone asks you what you do, don’t explain. Just say, ‘let me tell you a story.’
This is what you do — you tell stories — written from the heart. Many try, few succeed. Please…keep writing.
