Loved the piece and the enthusiasm. Always keep writing and never give up! Good writing takes persistence. Took about 5 years to publish my first novel

Look forward to more works in our obscure made up genre!

So glad you found a home for your work! And thanks for the reminder to not throw my work in the trash.

Yes, please don’t! I am still sad that I don’t have access to my first “memoir”, which I wrote when I was maybe 8 years old. It was about a stray dog.

Holy shit, this entire piece was incredible! It was like a rollercoaster ride of emotion for me, and you closed the loop right at the end! I think I will go enjoy that article now, thank you. Congrats on being published in lightning quick time too! Sometimes it's just meant to be.

Oh wow, thanks so much, Robin!! I'm glad it reeled you in. All the credit for the quick turnaround is due to the editor of the journal, who worked on it while on vacation!
