Yes, I can write posts more than one sentence long

But I don't have much to say other than kid nattering, unless you really want to hear about my tortured artistic self-doubts and vocational angst and such. Didn't think so.

Definitely all of those things, please. I don't know you well enough to be tired of that lately. ;) Also, I live vicariously through your kid-nattering I just want you to know. The ratio of 3 adults for 2 kids sounds about perfect.

Your tortured artistic self-doubts would serve the socially useful function of helping people like me realized that maybe our own tortured artistic self-doubts aren't so bad after all.

My tortured artistic self-doubts are more or less the same as anyone's: I can't do this, I'm not as good as I think I am, nobody wants to hear what I really have to say, that's not what I meant it to be like, this shit is hard.

You can so do this.

I'm not as good as I think I am,

You aren't as bad as you think you are.

nobody wants to hear what I really have to say,

I almost always want to hear what you really have to say.

that's not what I meant it to be like,

But despite that, it came out pretty good.

this shit is hard.

Well, actually, yeah, this shit is hard. If it were easy, anyone could do it...!

Don't write about what we want to hear! Write about what you have to say! We don't know what the hell we want to hear, anyway!

This is very good advice :) Thank you for the reminder.
