Traveled most of the world, multilingual, ancient mariner. Like good plots and pithy dialogue. Trying to create some. Ah,Well. After posting several stories, I have not yet realized my ambition to write good plots and pithy dialog. Instead, I realize, it's not as easy as I first imagined might be!. Scores, at a glance, are mediocre. Hovering around 6, +/=, the mean. Reading other's stories, I also realize, amidst such talent, my mid-average scores are accolades! Thanks! Inspired. Encouraged! Trying harder.
