Good Luck @therealpaul. I do upvote your stuff as I find it interesting and diverse and I always think it's good to lift other authors. I believe there's no competition between writers, even in the same genre. We all have different perspectives and even if two or more writers were given the same project, each would produce different stories because of their experiences.

Let's lift each other up, there is enough out there in the big scary world to beat us down :)
