On Trying to Try Some people always write everything down.

The hardest part of making anything, art especially, is trying, trying and trying until something comes to fruition. If a book, a song, a film etc reaches your heart, reach out and tell the creator. Sometimes a small acknowledgement of effort is enough to keep going open.substack.com/pub/jessicag...

Agreed! Although I think it’s important to recognize gen-z’s relationship to reading in the context of no child left behind- a policy that made reduced reading comprehension to test scores and killed the joy out of it for a lot of folks. It’s not an excuse but it is a partial explanation.
