I sincerely appreciate the kind words, Ryan! And everyone else's for that matter! I believe in "ancestral memory" as I can see several things in me that are very evident in my ancestors and for which there is no real explanation as to why I possess that same characteristic or ability other than it was already present in my DNA. Writing in one of those things. I sucked at it until I started posting stories on OS almost 15 years ago. Over time, it's just something that came to me and I'm convinced that because my grandfather was an author and great storyteller, he passed some of that on to me. This story wasn't something I needed to think about really, just sit down and start typing. I can't take credit for it, it's just something that's inside and as long as I sit down and put the effort in, typically I get something worth reading. It also helps me do the work knowing there are others out there that enjoy reading my ramblings!
