Thanks Jay. That's so encouraging. I tried focusing on non-Medium stories for that one week, but once I resumed, that's when I noticed a lag. I guess I need to make it more clear that I'm BACK after that week of no writing tips. Clearly that's what they must want to keep seeing. Anyway, it truly helps to be uplifted by comments like yours. I actually feel like a cork right now, floating around in a nice Merlot. Than again, I have been kind of hitting the sauce :-)
