And you inspire me, @carolkean. Years ago, when Hive went by another name, a very wise owl, (@mathowl) gave a piece of advice to a despairing blogger. It went something like this: write what you like and then at least you know one person will be happy. I'm really at the end of what career it was (of the many I followed) I pursued. No more pursuit. Read what I like. Write what I like. Of course, always have respect for my audience, otherwise just keep a journal 😅.

I'm very pleased my choice of subject and my treatment are to your liking. You are a professional, a discerning reader. Wow, it's nice to meet that standard.

Usually, when I write something like this, that might seem arcane to others, I run it past my husband when the blog is finished. He likes popular fiction. If his judgement is, 'That was interesting' then I've met the ultimate test.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll have to catch up on your blogs.
