I love your story! As a teacher of students with learning disabilities, I was not surprised when two of my former students were identified as gifted. We each have gifts!

My nouns are writer, positivity, artist.

We do all have gifts, they don’t all fit in the same boxes!

Artist, Writer, Reader

Thanks for sharing more about yourself. I enjoy your posts. They are helping me stay on track with my goals to illustrate children's books. Time can pass so quickly so I use your posts as a reminder to stay on task. Asking myself: Have I drawn today, have a written any new ideas down etc. It is nice to read about your journey and successes as well as struggles. So thank you for being you.

I really appreciate your introduction...I’ve been thinking about doing my own on my newsletter but felt a bit shy. And 700 posts, woohoo! My nouns: cartoonist, researcher, woodpecker.

The beginning is the best really, you have a small audience and can write whatever you want, maybe next month I’ll write about how to start a newsletter:)

Oh, to clarify, I’ve already started a newsletter—I’m on week 12 now—but I’d been feeling shy abt an introduction post :) This post inspired me—thanks! Also mentioned your 3 nouns ☺️

Wow! 700 posts. That's a feat! I'd love to overcome writing and post for fun's sake. I'm new to Substack and still learning and discovering creatives. So far, I like it here. I'm thinking of switching subscriptions per artist per month, I'll try subscribing to you on February or March. I love your content, Adam!

Nice your nouns!

It’s so much fun saying ‘Zelda’ 1000 time a day, it means happy and blessed!
