When I meet a 50odd blog reader, and they realise I’m the writer, and they thank me for writing, I almost always do the same thing.
I look down, stutter a thank you, and change the subject. However, that’s changing. A bit. Because something surprising is happening. They’re telling me their favourite 50odd. Like a 50odd is a thing. I like that. I like learning how people feel. I like making people think, and feel.
One particular 50odd was mentioned more than once recently. As a favourite 50odd. It’s a bit long. And I write shorter these days. But yes. I do like it. I like that it made people feel. I’ll rewrite it shorter for my book. It’s called The Bathroom Cabinet Game.
