Yes. Very much so.

Warning: brutal honesty ahead.

I have a confession to make.

Sometimes, when you post the old stuff you have reworked, I don't read EVERY SINGLE word. Because they are not as alive as this. I think, and I'm probably wrong, that when we write new things, they are more sparkly than old things.

This read sparkly from the get-go, and I appreciate the creative energy that went into it.

I rarely read fiction on Medium.

But I will if you write it. Dark or Light. I'm in.
