Another great write up sir. I have been following you for a bit and today was chatting to another steemit user as he features you in his weekly magazine of great steemit writers. @bashadow has been incredibly supportive as I try to develop my hand at writing crime fiction. I don't want to seem like I'm begging for notice and I don't want a vote or anything of that nature. However advice or critique would be appreciated. You manage to be incredibly descriptive and also succinct which is a hard balance for any writer and I would value feed back or criticism from another more seasoned person. I'm thick skinned but not think skulled so I'd happily accept any advice or criticism. The short story I'm working on is on my blog and is labelled in three parts in separate listings. If you don't give advice or the like then no worries. I don't have an expectation but figured I may as well ask. Thank you for your awesome posts and look forward to the next one.
huh...did't know about the mag...have you got a link?
The only advise I can give you is just write.
Write something YOU want to read...
Everything else is just detail...
the more you write..the better you will get.
Remember...95% of everything is crap..
that means you have to write a LOT to get rid of the crap..
so you can get to the good stuff.
Solid advice and soundly heard. I've worked in medicine most of my life starting as a medic in the US Army, then I moved to the UK as I have dual nationality. After 14 years of working in medicine in four different countries I've had a lot crap to watch and work with so I've always written. In that time I have discovered the delete and backspace button can be my friend. I appreciate the response. The steemit user name is @bashadow and we pretty much are at the same stage of building ourselves on Steemit. The link his magazine is:

Again thank you for the reply and looking forward to the next post.
thanks for the link and kind words..
Sounds like you have a lot of material to work with.
the old saying is 'write what you know'....it appears you know a LOT.
Thank you kindly Sir. I appreciate the time you've taken to respond. God Bless and Steem on. You've always got my vote.
