Hi Bruce,

First of all, wishing you a full and fast recovery.

Second, "Are you the writer you want to be?"

(Dunno!)

I'll do some free writing and deep thinking about the type of write I want to be.

Thanks for this wonderful prompt.

I do want to be humorous and entertaining and witty and engaging and persuasive.

So there's that.

*By the way, where are the slide decks about which we have heard so much?*

Many smiles and much metta,

This is one of my favorite articles that you've written to date.

I am the writer I want to be at this moment while knowing I'm not yet the writer I can be.

I hope this is always the case.

Why? Because I'm in the game and learning as I go. That's what matters to me. If I felt like I was "done", had nothing left to learn, it would probably be time to move on from trying to be a writer. The desire is in the doing. Some questions can only be answered through doing and I think you raised a great one.

Your article made me think deeply about why I am doing a thing I'm doing. Does that matter to the writer you want to be?
