As a painter, I am glad that we used predominantly linseed oil by the time I painted, and "turpenoid" was supposedly less toxic than turpentine.

I think the thing your piece really implies is that we need to allow our readers to get into the weeds with us, but at the same time, we need to back up and make sure the painting still makes sense.

At the end of the day, I love a reader-centric focus. Write what you enjoy, but think about your readers all the time. Thanks for a thoughtful post, David!

This is one of the most insightful and shifting essays I´ve read so far.

A simple change in the intention and all that matters can come to live.

Thanks friend for this words.

A read creators and writers should treasure and learn from.

This was soooo helpful! With the 25 questions, I was able to put it into ChatGPT and add my target audience. After that, I was reading the responses, and I finally figured out exactly the clear why that everyone can understand. Thank you so much for this piece of art!
