Hello Alden -- nice to meet you! There is something very exciting to begin to follow a writer who has planted the seed and is about to embark on an exciting journey discovering his/her path here in Medium! I've never read a follower from his/her first post --- but I've tried at times to scroll to older ones, to notice how long they've been on here.

Welcome and congrats on putting a fun story together of how a first post came together! You did it - and if there's anything I learned two months ago: it's a lesson that hey - others will read what you have shared and are excited to know what's to come!

Write on!!!
