I'm glad you came to that realization! It took me years to "throw off the shackles" of all those antiquated literary rules. It's a different time now, attention spans are incredibly small. These days we're lucky to grab a reader's attention even with short fiction. This is the main reason I haven't published a book in a few years. Unless a reader is a true fan of your work it's very difficult to sell self-promoted books.
I'm glad you enjoyed this! I may decide to expand on it a little. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
