A beginner mistake I am weirdly glad I made

I started this because my commute felt a little stuck, and fiction seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. My friend tried it in Istanbul and had the opposite result. The texture and mood are lovely.

Totally agree, especially for beginners.
