Medium drop down menu re-design

Medium's head of design said: While there are no guarentees, they will make some changes :)

As a power user of Medium, who reads stories and writes lots of stories, I am thoroughly dissatisfied with the current drop down menu. Thus, I went ahead and re-organised the menu, mainly for my own use.

Habits: I based my design decisions mainly on these behaviours
- I frequently use & access my drafts to build upon work-in-progresses
- I frequently go to my own profile where I then link to other people
- I frequently return to my bookmarked stories to then share

I removed...
- New story: I don't think it was necessary for there to be another button for creating a new story (never used that link)
- Series: While I am not a series writer, I don't understand why the stories link is not sufficient
- Publications: I think this page can be combined with 'my interests', thus I removed it
- Become a member: User wise provides little value, might be different for medium's business goals

*I forgot to include stats in the new design, it would probably go below stories

I don't understand the users of the medium, but I do know what I can scan the information on the drop down menu better on the new design. As least for me.
