My thanks for the feedback. Being compared in any way to Picasso is fantastic. I'm a huge fan of Gertrude Stein's Picasso-like writing here:

He painted a portrait of her that you could find as well. Sadly, I'm not sure he treated all women with as much respect.
I hope I provided sufficient "track to run on". Writing about writing can so often end up sounding like "I hold this pen above this page" stuff. I think I'm concealing my actual lack of understanding of "the fundamentals of fiction writing" by half-heartedly mocking them.
I'm glad it made you smile.
Ha ha. Love that.
