Thanks very much for your comments. I really appreciate you taking the time to read and offer your thoughts.
Wow, that's quite an undertaking, to read everything in addition to writing for the comm.
I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. After I posted my first two stories, I fell quite ill and now I fear I'm not even going to be able to finish participating in the comm.
I really appreciate your comments, though. Thank you for reading.
