Well... thank you, (I think.)
It's not lost on me that I am clumsily uncomfortable with praise. I don't know if that's some form of narcissism... anyway, I hope not.
I don't reject the notion that I can express myself well at times. But it's not like it's always.. and there are those who can do so with an ease and grace far beyond my ability to match.
But I do like writing (and better still, having written.) And it really does please me when I create something that others enjoy.
I've never cared for accolades and such... it's a problem for me..., but I am very grateful for the kind words and sentiments... it does help me feel better about my attempts at creativity...
