Thank you Joel, you're very kind. The older I get, the more mindful I am about falling into incorrect assumptions (and I still do it all the time, which is why I have to be mindful). It's easy to assume something will be better if you work on it more. Like you said, I think there's value in that when you're young. But part of your development as a writer (once you've reached a certain skill level) is to focus on experimentation. Thanks for the very kind comment, I really appreciate it! I feel like I could write a follow up article based on your comment alone!
