Of course you're a storyteller, Nancy! "because I could still be my ten-year old self covering world events, seated at my radiator desk in my childhood bedroom, that served as a newsroom from which I wrote my reports." That's a story, for sure. Love this. I've learned so much about how many stories I have to tell. Many more than when I first started here. And I've broadened my scope. You're doing that too, and it's great!

Hey Nancy

I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read from you - and the way you tell story.

Thx and hope the balance finds you.

As someone who is relatively new, I’ve definitely struggled to maintain a good balance with Substack and my other writing— but I’m hoping next year I’ll be able to strike a better balance. This year was very experimental, and there was a lot of stuffed happening which was unplanned for.

Thank you for sharing this piece, it was very nice to read.

You don’t need to make anything up to be a storyteller, Nancy—as I think you’re discovering in your own work. I appreciate the shoutout.
