I note this is from 2016. Are you quite good at keeping hold of your previous work? I do not have that much written work to speak of, but it is interesting to understand the habits of others (those, who chuck things out with ease, and those, who safe guard).
In other aspects of my life, I am quite the keeper (not a hoarder necessarily but I attach sentimental value to mementos, etc.). In that respect, I think I will be one to keep scraps of paper or non-sensical word files for years to come...
The "My Name Is..." was originally a Facebook post and I just expanded and edited it for Substack. I usually keep my written pieces in my Dropbox. I go back and revisit them and usually find they could be improved with more editing. Don't love your "children, your stories, too much. They could always look better with a new haircut.
Jordan, I love reading your stories by the morning fire.
Hope I, along with your fire, bring some warmth to your day.
Nice piece, Jordan!
