So, I'm not sure what provoked this personal crisis in your life. I only remember something about your payment with Medium being deemphasized and then you going to a party, getting drunk, smashing your face into a window causing injuries that sent you to the hospital. Seems it must be something deeper than this ???
Also, one thing that has bothered me is that I don't see you interacting with your readers in the comments. It's as if your readers are much of a concern to you. I think you need to nurture them or they will lose interest. As a writer myself, the first thing we're taught to consider is our audience.
Why did you roll your eyes? Martin has shared a lot of personal stuff that invites interaction, don't you agree? It seemed to me he was leaving something out or maybe I missed a blog that had that information. I'm not sure. Seemed he was bummed by the change in the payment arrangements of Medium, and the next thing I read was about that accident that sent him to the hospital.
Tom, if you’re a writer, you’d see a story unfolding here that is playing out over time. It’s called my life. And I had a major wake up call. I’m telling that story the way my mind works and I don’t need to explain everything literally because that is not the way it is unfolding for me. I respond when asked to explain something or when a comment demands a response. Not every time.
I do, but what is the cause? You haven't explained it, or maybe you don't know either and you are searching for the answer? All I can gather is that you believe you have a drinking problem -- too many martinis. What is the reason for that? Is that what you're trying to find out? Maybe that's why you're a writer and why we all gravitate to that expression, or maybe any form of art? The need to understand ourselves and the reason for our existence ???
Wow, Martin, you've covered alot of ground here. The Odyssey to magical realism to nihilism to trump's mugshot. Yes. I see that. Thanks for getting my wheels turning at 8:00 a.m. Sunday!
Got my wheels going at 5:45 am. Go Martin! Your Phoenix is rising

Tom, my writing is my commentary. It’s all in there if you read between the lines. That’s all I got.
