I actually enjoyed the piece by listening to a conversational AI-generated podcast from the text. I listened to it while commuting to work.

So true, Reid! Most of us don't take enough risks, so it's freeing to read about other writers encouraging us to 'be stupid'!
Love this ❤️❤️❤️

I also loved the advice of giving your best energy to book writing.
