Interesting breakdown and some great insights as usual. I once saw on a Youtube comment, of all places, that reading is diet and writing is exercise, and of course we need both. I l also like the authors you chose to include in your analysis. What all of them have in common in my mind, it that they are all excellent at talking about things that are mostly old and known, in a very new and simple and interesting way (this influence comes through in your writing as well).
it's also interesting for me to be able to list authors who I 'look up to', who are much younger than me. This is true of Jack and Kyla in particular. I discovered Jack's stuff a few years ago and I think that was instrumental in me starting to put pen to paper. This reminds me that I need to pick up both of their books. I'll order your book too, whenever you get around to writing it. Nice post. Nice job with the consitency!
Congratulations on the progress! And great reflections. Wild to see that straight line of @Nick Maggiulli ’s consistency over the years…Cal Ripken of financial newsletters

Couldn’t agree more! All the writers I look up to have a distinctive style because they’ve been committed to excellent writing for so long
I think this b/c I heard on a podcast that Tim Urban wrote #300 blog posts before incorporating his distinctive cartoon drawing style
