To thine oneself be true

I’m trying. It’s not easy on Substack. For example, it is a fair assumption that you will respond to this reply with a ‘like’ to acknowledge receiving this message. Then again, now that I have pointed that out, you may feel conflicted and respond with silence. Either way, the conversation ends with unresolved communication. I hope that you can see the merit in my work, beyond the splitting narrative voice I have used. It is a technique I have used in a book I have written. I see you have written a book too. That makes us authors. Many substackians just write sporadically - casual writers.

I

i'm an author in the past tense. New work just isn't forthcoming. I do the occasional poem but the stories are all from the past. I envy you your talent.
