Okay, I hope we can wrap up this lengthy commentary, though it has been interesting, @galenkp. 😊

My final thoughts are that it is very definitely unfortunate if she leaves our community when what is happening here is an interest in her, her writing skills, and how she can earn better rewards with her writing. (And importantly, nothing in what I said discounted the quality of her writing.)

Regarding the comment about the image, I hope you'll reconsider your thoughts on that because that comment came from @samsmith1971, a champion of writing and of Hive who is all heart, and I can see very clearly by reading her comment that she was trying to help Becca to understand what might have signaled that her story didn't belong in The Ink Well, from the admins' eyes, so she can learn from it and grow. It is a very supportive comment.

Bottom line, we are all trying to help @becca-mac in different ways. I think it's wonderful that you are committing to help her to thrive. Count me in the fan club!
