Looking forward to reading that piece tomorrow.
I agree, @f3nix has created a rare environment here. I come back when I don't really get the "beginning" of a story, out of loyalty. The community is a crucible for writers and would-be writers. No way to lose--everybody wins by just being part of the exercise.
Thanks for finding my comments valuable--sometimes I miss your posts on Steemit. (Life is distracting) But when I catch them, I'm always rewarded.

Have fun at Steemfest. You can't know how happy I am that you are going. Happy for you, happy for the creative writing community on Steemit.
