>> 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. <<
;) Nobody is an expert when they're just getting started! What would be the fun of that? Trying new things is all about exploring the possibilities and making interesting new mistakes.

It's good that you learned from it.
>> I like what I wrote and I think I will edit and repost it eventually. <<
Yay!
>> 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. <<
Yeah, that was distracting. But not much worse than reading poetry with the foot markers left in, and I've done that too.
>> 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. <<
