Thanks so much for the support ! I enjoy writing them and you might be correct in that they run a bit long. I decided to get out of my own way and just get it on paper. Over the years I have often thought to write it down but there is so much I never knew where to start.
The writing might be a bit too raw and unfocussed, with too many ideas in one post.
I might need to tighten up the editing. I can simply redo some of the earlier ones and break them up, format a bit better and find some good pix.

The comments are super important for me now because I need to figure out which ideas connected so I am work those out and crystalize the messages. I am only at it 2 weeks and I see good trends and earnings aren't spectacular yet of course but going the right way. I am hoping with the comment contests to generate virtuous feedback loops so l get a better idea where I aim with the writing and I can reward people who make an honest effort !
