Appreciate it! Have a couple ideas kicking around for my next write up, but taking a beat to evaluate what went well and all that jazz

You're all good in my book, don't sweat it. I really do welcome the feedback. I am just some yokel from the internet, the burden is on me to write ~well enough so that reading 10k words isn't an enormous waste of time. Definitely rusty, but a little less so after wrestling with this one. I'm still ironing out my process, but writing more is the only way to get that sorted.

Author here. I was expecting some negativity but for whatever reason this one bites more than I imagined. The effort here was earnest and I'm sorry it reads as slop to you. Appreciate the feedback.
