This is the first time I have ever been the subject of an article written by a fellow Medium writer. I can't say how honoured I am because words fail me.
I try my best. I encourage fellow writers to do their best. If I like a piece, in my comment, I will state the reasons why I like it.
Conversely, if I don't like something, I will try to find a polite way of saying it. I will offer constructive criticism. This is what writers, ones supportive of fellow writers, do.
