Another goodie! Got me wrestling with that balance of competitiveness and trying your best VS not taking it too seriously. A nice thought to chew on, especially when it will come to the day when I need to have the "character chat" with my boys.

Great piece, Nic. Love the reflection on the amateur endeavours, I've never thought about it and it made me think. Thank you.

Very nice Nic 😁 something we all need to remind ourselves of all the time. Comparing ourselves to others or to our own end goals when we are still learning is really the enemy. Thanks for that and looking forward to the next one. Really enjoyed it.

A beautiful thought provoking post Nic. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and it’s the going forward with the knowledge that holds us in good stead for the pen and pad moments to come! Wishing you every happiness with your writing - whether it be amateur or professional ❤️

Love this. For the story, but also for the moral of the tale, Nic. I want to be like Jane Rafferty, too.
