Thank you. It is very encouraging to be told that it is okay to not be an expert when you are just trying to get started. I have hit that wall many times in my life and am working on not inflicting it on others. I like what I wrote and I think I will edit and repost it eventually. Now that I am reading it, the / markers that I use in my rough draft writing to "hear" pauses bother me as a reader. So that and other things will change eventually. Thanks for the positive feedback. If anyone feels like it, I also will respond to constructive criticism and/or being told that I have made a mistake or that I have done something inadvertently offensive; I interpret that as positive because it implies I care enough to fix something. I will be happy to jam with you folks.
