I just published my first long-form article on Medium and any advice works!

Writing Question

It’s a personal story about my experience getting a driver’s license last year and how what I thought would be a simple process turned into a six-trip DMV journey.

This is my first time writing something like this, so I chose a “life lessons” style and used it as a summer project to improve my writing (also because I was bored).

I’d really appreciate any feedback, especially honest or critical advice. What works, what doesn’t, what feels off, anything helps.

(I would love it if you could add/leave the advice on the Medium website! I don't make any money from this since I don't have the subscription, I just want to keep track of the advice in the long run.)
