Thanks lynncoyle1, I worked on it when I had the time. But, yeah I bring whatever passion is left in me to whatever project I do. It feels good when people recognize it, of course its devastating when they don't. But such is life. I'm beaver by the way. :)

Nice to meet you beaver; I did have a feeling :)

Yes, as strong a feeling both ways too!

we had two weeks to complete the contest, but i think beaver put in more time than i did. Writing a story that feels real is 4 parts research, 2 parts thinking and planning, 2 parts writing and revision, and 2 parts doubting everything you've done is any good... The raven pic is actually is creative commons stock photo that i edited then put in an effects filter, I like to fiddle.

That's a lot of parts to make up one whole :) But to this:

2 parts doubting everything you've done is any good

Agreed! :)
