I think that this is a great “start” to something you should/could have done all along…Remember, all the other stuff has been baby steps to get to the level YOU want to be at!! Amazing piece of work!

Thanks a lot, Mick. Good to be here. By the way, your Valentine’s Day piece had my wife crying with laughter.

For what it’s worth, and if it helps jump-start you a little bit more then it is worth it, I can tell by one piece that I’d look forward to any manuscript you churned out. Good to have you on Flip. P.S. Ruby’s a bitch.

Robbie,
You’re at Iowa. I think you should be giving me advice.
Seriously, though, thanks for the kind words. I’m trying …

Absolutely loved this. The evolution of the narration, perfect tone and clear voice. I’m a writing student at U of Iowa, any advice? (just kidding) (but seriously)
