Thank you so vey much for your kind words and for stopping by and having a read! :D

Yeah, starting anew is always somewhat hard, because you have to envision a beginning, the story, the plot and a good, solid ending. Each and every time. From that point of view it's a little easier to write an ongoing piece, but you face other challenges then. Everything has to fit together, you need to make it like so that it makes sense, ... ... It's a constant struggle, but it's a very good one! :D

I really hope you give it a shot and that you will like it! You can always go back to short standalones if you don't! ;D

And yes, linking together your work and making something long and yet still connected does very much help you grow! :D

Good luck! ;D
