I would like to say thanks to the contest organizers for the chance to enter and use the 50 word platform to help me understand what it means to edit a story.
I need to give a shout out to the whales who keep me under a 55 reputation by flagging my my posts and killing any payout that may have been intended.
Mostly, I appreciate all the contestants. It is heart warming to know that people care about writing and hopefully experience the joy that only a writer can know about reading the finished product.
