Keep on keeping on, Shannon, and everybody needs a break with some catnaps sometimes. You have more than earned that.

I'm glad you do well on Medium but my fervent wish for you is that you find work projects and support outside of it someday--I enjoy reading you more than huge memoirists like Cheryl Strayed and Glennon Doyle--because I think it's cruel the way Medium just makes writers pound out content every single day or their views suffer. Only 25-year-old tech bros with no dependents (or their partners or nannies taking care of their dependents) would set up a system whereby you have to be working ALL THE TIME. Frustrating.
