Thanks for the in-depth feedback! Your points make sense to me, and I think you’re right that I probably need to join a workshopping group or hire someone. Publishing and reading comments would probably work (seems like the way most people do it) but the feedback loop is just too long.
Something I’m realizing from your comments is that I need to decide what type of article I’m writing and then structure it based on that. I think I’ve avoided the “list of n things” because it feels Buzzfeed-y, but I should probably embrace it when that’s the kind of article I’m writing.
I think I’ll try going over these articles again and probably contact you via DM to see about hiring you to give me pre-publishing feedback in the future.
