Hi Richard, I have a confession to make.
Last night I began to edit your story, but got called away and had no chance to get back to complete the edit.
I don't know when I was so excited for any one. You totally deserved your success because you never gave up.
Sure you had times when you shelved things, but that's what all good creators do when they have problems. The problem doesn't go away. Instead it simmers somewhere in your brain.
This is such a great lesson for all creators. Stick with it. Believe in yourself. Be brave. Be determined.
Congratulations. Well done. .
