I never considered that connection but that makes a lot of sense.
It's truly my pleasure to read and comment on your work! As for my own writing, I can only credit years of near pathological immersion in books, and writing as an outlet since I was small. I've considered taking some courses to improve upon them - particularly my fiction could use some polishing - but with three kids, a husband, and a full time job I can barely find time to write let alone learn to write better, lol.
Right back at ya! :) Well all that seems to be working wonders! You are a great writer (and storyteller) as I mentioned. It's one thing to correctly implement grammar and sentence structure, but the storytelling aspect is a whole different enchilada! I don't think I've quite mastered that yet. Then again, I have a hard time making myself read, so that could be a contributing factor.
As for improving your writing, it's pretty damn good already if I do say so myself! :) Have you written any fiction on Steemit yet?
