It wasn't the first time your words encouraged me to do something
How happy you make me. It's heartening to know I might have made a difference.
I am so impressed by how talented you are in so many areas. I'm double impressed because your talent comes not with arrogance, but with grace and generosity. I've said it before--you're a natural teacher. And, you are creative, amazingly creative in different spheres.
If you ever are inclined to write a small piece, a casual piece, but not a serial: I'm helping out over at the Ink Well. That came about because I want to see that community grow. I want a place on Hive where writers can feel comfortable and welcome. There are rules: only English. No hate. No violence against women and girls (isn't it horrible that this has to be a rule???). Not usually longer than 1000 words, though this is not a firm ceiling. We have writers of all skill levels. I personally love to see the struggling writers develop. You are not in that class :)) You are a writer.
Check it out sometime. It might be fun.
Looking forward to the next segment of this piece. I know you have surprising developments planned.
