Thank you for your kind words, @iskawrites. Yes, you're right, it's a matter of focus and what we are good at. My focus and skills are in writing fiction and essays, and with my very limited time availability, I just don't pay close enough attention to the other things!

The way I look at it, when I'm 80 years old, what will make me feel fulfilled in life? Mastering the craft of writing and having several published collections of short stories will be quite satisfying.

I hope you do keep writing and developing your craft! It's a fun and rewarding pursuit, and Hive is a great place to practice that craft.
