Hi Lisa! You're an excellent writer--even when the subject is spider mites, lol. It seems that quantity is king on this platform., which is often difficult for "writers". You don't want to pump out junk. You prefer taking the time to craft good essays. Regardless of any changes you decide to make, don't let this platform or anyone cause you to second-guess your talent.

Have you considered writing a few short, 150-250 posts? They've gained popularity here. I plan to give them a try to help build back my writing motivation. The gut-punches (few reads) made me question what I write.

Btw, I like your weight loss story. Had it gotten more exposure, I'm sure other people would feel the same way.
