Thanks for mentioning me to your Dragon friend!
I wouldn’t call it a failure except that it was kind of intended as a failure? As for continuously complaining, in my last piece I tried to stop worrying and learn to embrace the silliness of it all (later I will be binge-watching all the CBS shows followed by the entire Fast and Furious and Transformer movie franchises). Your Dragon friend seemed nice.
(oh, I also clapped a lot, because Medium seems to want to pay us for being clapped at and I am all for you getting more money smelling gold on your jump drive).
