You have been so generous with your time and energy and emotional labour in the time I've known you, even at times when you can't have had much of it to spare, and when you've had plenty of experiences that could have taught you to be less kind.
You explain your subjects so clearly, and in a way that's not patronising or alienating, and the explanations have been so helpful to many people, including me. I like your books, and I also like your book reviews. You are one of the people who, after I get around to reading a genre book that was published a few years ago, I'll hit your tags up to see what you said about it, because I want to know.
In keeping with the theme of this post, there are two things in particular, one concrete and one abstract, that you make seem more possible, for me. The more concrete one is self-publishing. The advice and explanations you've given make it seem like hard work, not like a pie in the sky dream. And the more abstract one is, you make adapting and surviving seem possible, finding a new way forward when one path is blocked off in some ridiculous and unexpected way.
