I appreciate that Kenny! I felt as though the twenty+ year backlog of writing I had before joining Hive was meant to post here. It was all unpublished for the most part. Hive has also helped me write my last four books. The Perfect Pause, Mindful Moments, Ephemera, and Poems from the Edge of the Apocalypse have all been born from series of Hive posts.
There is a lot of loyalty here. It sometimes makes me sad to think about the people who've left. There were so many years of meaningful exchanges and face-to-face meetups and then poof they're gone.
Cheers to Hive! Thanks so much my friend.
