Lesson of the week: If you ever cone across a niche blog, article, or book that's really interesting or useful, email the author! It might be the first time they've heard from a reader

Every time I do this I think "they probably won't respond...".
I did this 2x this week and—LIKE ALWAYS—both responded and were thrilled to hear their work was useful.
Wonder how many times I have to do this before I internalize that the vast majority respond with enthusiasm...

I've done this 20+ times in the last year and every time received a friendly response. Really don't understand why my brain still expects rejection...

Used to reply to everybody with a "thanks for reading", now I only respond if they say something interesting. Usually don't respond to anyone who seems disturbed (a group that has slowly seen an uptick over the years)
