Daily writing prompt
Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you.

My father taught me that I am successful:

A single influential reader is worth more than a thousand passive ones.
A single person in the right room can shift the trajectory of your work.
A single person who “gets it” can carry your writing into spaces you can’t reach directly.

I learned that from how he connected with people in the room as a pastor.

The world has not given me a million readers, it has given me the right ones.
