This made me look at my stats. I've been a member since 3/2021 but like you, I didn't become fully active right away, it was 3/2023 when I fully committed and submitted to pubs. If it makes you feel better, I'm at 106 stories =D

I remember when I started submitting to GT feeling like you were one of the writers I resonated more with, felt like we were in similar places in our Medium journey. And thankfully we're both still here! Cheers to 171 stories, that's a lot of stories: documentation, time, effort, skill building, all of that!
