I am so glad. Annie it has taken me over two years to build an audience here. My secret is perseverance. And finding and reading the work of writers i love who are doing well and trying to learn from that. Few articles longer than 5 minutes get reads. Sad but true. I've got better at editing the heck out of my stuff. Medium has been a playground for learning for me. And well worth the effort. I hope you stay. And flourish. You are a GREAT writer. 🙏💚
