I got a few good insights from this post, but they're probably not the ones you were hoping for.

For a while, I've considered myself a casual Swift fan. But the songs I like are the singles, and the thing that has always kept me from really getting deeper into the fandom, aside from the fact that I never seem to be capable of getting deeply into any fandom, is the fact that none of the songs on any album ever sound enough like the singles to hold my interest.

And for what it's worth, I find bullying and getting chewed up and spit out to be much more relatable themes than true love.

Overall, I'd say the post made me feel less like I now have the tools to incorporate where grassland like tendencies than It does make me feel exhausted thinking about even trying. And it has nothing to do with how you or Russell or Michael present the material, but all the material from WriterMBA or Subscriptions for Authors Just makes me wonder why I'm even bothering When I'm very clearly not cut out for this

I understood this more than any other post. I’m a Swiftie and a Forest. I’m an indie author and poet. Thank you for making this accessible to me.

Hi Monica! Thank you for the very generous-with-info post. Something I've noticed about both you and Russell is how very thorough you both are in explaining. Every post a firehose of new insights. 😀
