Thank you for being here and contributing so positively to this community of writers. I love what you said about your husband’s encouragement. I’m trying so very hard to be that husband for my wife. She has wonderful stories in her and I hope she’ll join us here and share them with us as you have done.

Happy writing!

Thank you! I absolutely can't overstate how much my husband helps with this. Not only does he devote time and patience to reading first drafts, and picking out holes in the plot, and saying things like "That's not actually how that works", he is also so encouraging and always up for reading what I've written, even if it sucks. It means so much to me! Props to you for being that person for your wife, and I hope she starts telling her own tales soon, too!

Thank you, Nathan! I always enjoy yours, too. Even when it's sad, because it's still pretty, and nobody really knows what'll happen in a story until it's too late. But it's always pretty!

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy it - it's kind of a mess in some parts, but I swear I'll fix it in post. :)

I'm in the same boat with all my stuff! Writing publicly isn't for the faint of heart ;)
