I like how you anchor your thesis in transformation. Conversion of energy is what life does. Technically, a reader's disinterest, even rejection, is transformative. I like to think of my writing as harnessing energy to create a chain reaction. Medium is akin to the cave walls of primitive writers, where we are encouraged to document our transformations at our pace. I try not to be overly critical of myself or others, even when a written chain reaction is nothing more than an intricate path of dominoes that never tumbles. There might not be claps, no highlights, no comments, no boosts, but the potential is always there. I consider the first writer. What is conveyed? Is it about a bear that killed family members, or was that bear a family feast? Is it a story of self-absorbed lamentation or a community celebration? What hope filled that writer's perspective while chiseling or painting the bear? Throughout all ages of change, people who share their writing share a spark of hope. That’s ‘good’ enough for me.
