Kristina- Thanks for your notes. I don't know what your two"Here is something" responses mean. I so enjoy your posts, and I think I've responded to you a couple of times. You have a wonderful no bullshit attitude that is combined with respect and compassion. I find it is a rare to get the balance right. You are also a generous writer, which I selfishly appreciate.

I am a moron about anything having to do with medium and online stuff, except the writing. I turn 70 next week, and have some early cognitive deficits, that are not age-determined, just my way towards dementia.

I look at your New Writers focus and feel jealous.

I've been at this for about 18 months, have about a 97% curation rate, and I know my writing is good, but I made more money in 1965 babysitting than I do with this( and they left me food!) I'd do it again, but I hate kids (that from a clinical child psychologist). Im screwed.

Anyway, thanks. Martha
