Lorna, you’ve inspired me to write my own “Me and Medium” article! So many things resonates with me, particularly the part about “having many subjects I desired to write about, but my “introverted me” kept holding me back.” It wasn’t just the introvert factor. I had and still have little confidence in my amateurish writing, which is obvious to seasoned writers. It’s not false modesty; it really isn’t. But after quitting teaching, my current job kindled fire in my creative ember. <— this is a sentence from my draft. LoL
