Inspired Readers

Who are you most inspired by?

Readers. People who comment after reading. I woke up this morning and groveled a bit about the purpose of sharing weird memories and thoughts, then clicking publish. I drafted everything I ever wrote. I walked away.

Of course, I came back with curiosity (and edits). I’m drawn by self-expression and imperfection. After fighting with my ego, an AI, then staring at the laptop for hours (to add a simple button), I found 22 comments I’d never seen before.

Wow! & yikes! What was I thinking?!

Apparently there is a button on here somewhere that requires me to approve comments. Who knew? WordPress.

The “writing yoga” world is a mysterious place. Thank you for reading – and when you like it too.

You inspire me.

Signed,

Stephanie Bird
