I was typing this:
Fiction aside, this was written from the heart, and it can be felt
And then I saw your reply to Theinkwell acc..
So yeah, no need to say anything further. Thanks for the read, I really enjoyed it.
And welcome (or welcome back, I'm not sure) to The Ink Well.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I think this is my first post in this community, in the (close to) five years I've been around, although I can't be sure. I post daily so maybe I've put one in before.
Thanks for your kind comments, I think you understand that fiction isn't fabrication. I've lived a life, and draw on it for my fictional writing often.
