Everyone has things they are proud of and things they would like to fix. It sounds like you have some good insight into how to work on your anger issues. That can be a difficult one, especially if there

Wow, I was really drawn into this story! You have a very nice way of writing dialog, and keeping the story moving with scenes.

What a nice love story! It is not formulaic in any way, as love stories tend to be, and the rich details of the setting draw the reader in so we feel a part of the story.

This is really charming. If readers do not come out of this story with a smile on their faces, then they are dead inside! 😄

I am loving reading these creative nonfiction stories about people's lives, and their defining moments. You must be so thankful that you had that moment of harsh reality. Maybe you were ready for it. Maybe

It brings me joy to see writers thrive and grow here, @jackdeathblack!

Looking forward to some fresh creative voices in The Ink Well!

Congratulations @jackdeathblack, @idlemind and @popurri, and all the honorable mentions!

You've described a very creepy creature that would frighten anyone and make their hair stand up straight! Is Lucy the bat creature?

Beautiful story, @jackdeathblack. Children are some of the worst victims of wartime, as their innocence is truly shattered. The scene of the soldier directing his comrades away from them was heartstopping!

Glad that seems helpful, @wrestlingdesires. Yes, I think it can definitely help with editing down length!

I loved reading this, @grindan. It reminded me so much of my days working as a waitress, cocktail waitress and bartender. I put myself through grad school by bartending nights and weekends. And I've fallen

Oh I love the Kalahari! We used to take our kids there when they were young. We actually took one more trip to the Dells at Labor Day, just for old time's sake, and went to Mt. Olympus. (My kids are all
