Congratulations on your 7th! What you've said echoes many of my feelings about this place. It's been an incubator for so many ideas and it's helped to keep the skillset sharp as well. I've truly enjoyed witnessing your growth over these past seven years. You've become a phenomenal writer, a person worthy of carrying the torch of muse for the generation that comes after you. I really believe this is what good writers do, they not only entertain and feed minds but they inspire the new set of torch-bearers who will keep that spark of creativity alive. It's the absolute best club in the world to be a part of, in my opinion. : )
