Thank you for reading and subscribing, Paul! I'm glad you enjoyed this story.
Funnily enough, I was working on my own startup for the longest time, and I found it to be a great drain to my writing. Running a startup takes up too much time and brain-energy; I eventually gave it up so I could devote myself to writing. I don't regret it one bit.
Let me be the first to welcome you to Medium! It's a grand place with tons of great writers. I wish you all the best reading, and writing as well, should you one day free up the time and the energy to get into it :)
