"These beings" -- what a great line for the times we live in.
David, I know you subscribe to many other Substacks. I want to thank you for all those "likes" and let you know that I do read Substackers who comment--and come back to all who write a comment, thus, building actual connection--not so easy here. All best, Mary
Your writing in Gentle Men provides a unique and touching exploration of male vulnerability, especially when you mention, “We were all torn asunder from the worlds we knew inside and out.” The blend of speculative fiction with real emotional depth defies stereotypes and invites readers to empathise with misunderstood characters. It is a beautifully reflective piece.
I love this, David. Great storytelling with real emotional depth. I look forward to reading more.
Great writing. Men and emotions. Hell yeah!
You are a very patient storyteller which is something I’m trying to do. Your creative imagination is always something I respect.
I thought this a thoughtful take at animated characters dealing with identity and fitting into the real world
Great! Scored a home-run for real-world masculinity.

It seems you have your finger on the male pulse. Well done.

It's a new topic for me. Animated characters as human beings. Very interesting.
Well said, David!
Great stuff, David!
"I also write nonfiction about these beings:" I loved this exploration into discovering one's identity. You nailed young men for certain. Bravo.
Wow. So good.
