Welcome to the Hive. I've known your fiance via @Freewriters for a couple years now and @kaelci is one of the best, most fun and accomplished writers in the world!
I saw your name as sound like Hidalgo (Hi-DAV-oh) until you explained it's "Hi Dave." I have made worse mistakes. Like this "Titleist" logo all these guys wear. I read it as if it were German: Tit-Leist (rhymes wit tit lice). Oh man. This story ends here and now.
(Title-ist. I just couldn't see that.)
Oooh, sci-fi! Have you visited The Ink Well? I've got to get logged into PeakD/Steempeak/whatever to read this and be able to comment/upvote.
Ah, THANK YOU for the steemit link!!

Also steemydave has a hive account too when it rolled over from steem. Might be easier than having to go back and forth between the two
Yeah my scifi isn't good. So a bit of a warning. It was literally my first time ever trying to write anything. But on the bright side I've learned a lot since then and I'll probably be relaunching the series and doing rewrites. This time with actual structure and not writing from the seat of my pants!
I'm aware of The Ink Well even subscribed to it. I just have self doubts my stuff is good enough to post in there...at least yet.
I remember all the positive and encouraging things youve written about my Kaelci and i am grateful. I really do think she has exceptional talent and i believe she is going to be a successful published author. I actually got into writing and blogging back in the steem days to better appreciate what kaelci does and goes through. It spurred a passion in me for it too.
Thank you for dropping by my page and saying hi! You're one of my favorites here at Hive so its a pleasant surprise.
I'm a favorite of someone...? For real? I love you Dave!!
As for the writing, I never did get to your story today, sorry - I'm waaay behind on book reviews for Amazon Vine and totally unmotivated to take the time to write them, as if I have so many better things to do with my time. Too much stuff on my mind, and should be venting it out via fiction writing, but I just read and paint Quarantine cats and pull weeds and walk the dogs instead. You have it much harder, quarantined with an ocean between you and Kaelci and that cute little boy with the teddy bears... this will maybe evolve into a story of a guy stranded another planet and sending messages home to his son. Teddy Bear photos from every galaxy or something like that. Then the son might realize there are CLUES embedded which will lead to him rescuing Dad from the space pirates (Dad being a gardening guru with a gift for hydroponics and galactic gardening skills). Dad WILL find his way home again, after planting fruit trees (like Johnny Appleseed on the American frontier) on other planets... without introducing any alien invaders of course, like garlic mustard of Japanese beetles. )
Sorry.
My favorite pastime is to run away with other people's life stories. -_-
Actually I was planning on incorporating mr teddy in the scifi. We think alike!
