"You don't have to play alone" is good advice for almost everything I can think of, except writing flawed first drafts, which I think you'll be addressing in part 2.

Thanks for this!

“Will people want me if I’m not struggling?” I so relate to this. But letting go of those who prefer you to be in a struggle is the key. It’s scary but freeing.

I just wrote a series of posts about, among other things, rugged individualism. And of course I struggled with them alone!

A few months ago, I burned out on one of my special interests, so I pivoted for the summer and wrote a season of posts on community (alone, of course!) and travel. I was afraid I'd lose subscribers. Instead, I picked up a bunch.

I'd love to write about the struggles and the neurodivergence, but I can't, not yet.
