Would love to see how your edits make them grow! Btw I wouldn’t say an essay is ever a failure…it’s just midway down the edits/revision trajectory…

You saved me so much trial and error. The vivid imagery you gave with going back and forth to the central point while discovering different parts of the circle is elegantly presented.

Thanks for this article.
