Oh man, it didn't notify me that there were replies.
I definitely think there are better TF writers out there (Cursebearer immediately comes to mind although we have a different writing style and TF style) but I'll take your compliment, @edwardfandango!
And no, gosh, I only started writing back in 2011. I'm a programmer nerd. So logic versus creativity? Who knows
I *do* like to think I'm decent with pacing since that's a huge issue for me as a reader. I have lots of thoughts on that whole subject.
I'm glad this works because it's not easy for me to write to a commission but it's interesting to try!
Thank you both!
