Thank you so much. I'm excited to get the second edit going sooner rather than later, these stories seem to have an impact and I'd love to refine them so I can feel more confident releasing the content.

The first edit is a historical document of sorts, my first real project, the one that brought me to 9 Story Hotel and Substack.

I love the way you wrote this. By saying just enough.

I save my grit for 9 Story Hotel.

I prefer a simple, clear approach to my work with Charms. There's glimpses of my consciousness but mostly I'm trying tell these events as they happened, and allow the audience to decide how they feel.

That’s called good, intelligent, mature writing. ✍️

rawr. every time I read this I'm like DAMMIT WHY CANT I EDIT YET.

Because I can't.

The first dozen stories are a historical document.

I'll edit when the rest are finished they tell me what order they're supposed to be in because it won't be chronological.

Doesn't make sense.

Not for this.
