    Thank you for doing this, Mik! Loved everything you read, no judgement! The one with your mother and the carpet was my FAVE, so raw and vulnerable. Lost my grandmother in 2013, she was my rock so I can relate (virtual hug through the internet). Recently found my old journal I wrote when I was fifteen and - GIRL - the angst, the melodrama, the moody poetry and purple prose! Also, my old creative writing is chockful of info dumps, run-on sentences, dialogue exchanges that goes nowhere, and police sketch character descriptions - I've definitely come a LONG way :)

    This was fun to watch 😂 you're brave for showing your old writing. I could never show my current writing because I think it's so bad lol

    Ohhhh.
    Inspired by this, I went to find my old writing. And did I cringe? Yes. And this was immediately replaced by the pride of having grown so much as a writer that I can actually pinpoint what I did wrong at that time. When I wrote those words four and a half years ago, I knew the prose wasn’t good, but I couldn’t pinpoint why.
    Sometimes, progress shows up as cringe.
    Thank you for this video!
