Happy birthday!!! I wrote down the title of that Matt Bell book to check it out. I similarly don't always love to write about writing, because like you said, the process is so different from person to person and even from book to book that I don't always know what to say about it that's relevant. Happy I got to be one of the online friends you saw offline!!
Yeah and also some writing advice feels so prescriptive, which makes me want to argue "Actually, I DON'T have to do it this way," lol. (Part of what I like about Matt Bell's book is that it's not like that.) Loved seeing you too!
