This is very good, and very important, especially when you touch upon the nonfiction... because yes, that cursor does blink.
I wrote a memoir about medical and mental illness in 2017, and was shocked that it became a #1 bestseller. It happened quickly and suddenly, and when it did, I was *terrified* - I wrote under a pen name and changed names of people in it, of course, but I was scared that people now knew my truth.
But the truth, even though it is just that - the TRUTH - seems different a year later. Now, I'm not concerned when people read it. It's not complete. My life isn't over, and as I change and learn more, I realize the memoir was a glimpse. It was a very long vignette, and there is more to say.

So the cursor blinks.
Very well-written and relatable.
