Wow! Tisha, thank you so much for including me in your list! That was so lovely of you and I am honoured!

Medium is definitely a beast, it's difficult to figure it all out but you'll get there. You suggested some great ideas to make it a little easier :)

It can be kind of glitchy at times, but once you've been here for a while, you'll see that if something isn't working properly all of a sudden, it's usually fixed fairly soon - in case you hadn't found out about this already, thought I'd give you a heads up!

I enjoy your writing and look forward to reading more of your work. I'm so sorry you had that awful experience with the moron who shut you down in such a terrible way so long ago. And I'm also sorry for all that painful life stuff that's been thrown at you. But you're right, you're strong and resilient, and writing is a great outlet for that pain, and sharing it is a powerful way to help others - as you know.

I'm glad you're here and finding your feet on Medium. It's a wonderfully supportive community. 💜
