Sorry for commenting only now, but at least my delay can relieve you of having answered late to the other comments...I'm far guiltier than you.

I already knew you were hiding inside of you the qualities of a good writer, a poet and a philosopher, and I observed with a great pleasure those qualities flourish with the #freewrite contest. Maybe you needed a stimulus and a constant deadline, and a community that supports a lot, like this fantastic, international group we are. ;)

You introduced me to Steemit, and to freewrites too (my first one was in the first day too, even if it took me some days more to fully understand what I should do), and I can't even recall every Steemit "trick" you tried to instill in my colander-like mind, and every time you gave me an help of some sort. It's not all about you being an amazing writer, the supporting part is fantastic, like the fact you're donating a share of steembasicincome to everybody is commenting here. Those are the things that qualify you as one of the finest gentlemen I've the luck to know.

I hope to keep writing together for longtime, my friend! Up the bananafish! :D
