A solid start! I'm looking forward to the next one.

I should try that. I do enjoy the deep dive into a topic, but then I will never finish/publish something. Also quite perfectionistic which doesn't help, but your strategy sounds interesting, will give that a go.
I like your short story format btw, it's nice, and interesting topics as well. Also looks like you are on a good streak, keep it going!
