Hi Hive account@jayna

No it's perfectly fine, I wouldn't have normally published something graphic in the Inkwell, and I can only imagine the stories that people were submitting if you've had to constantly emphasise the point so much! For me, I think this time due to the
quirky nature of the idea I was hoping it would have been ok, but understand exactly where you guys were coming from. But it's all good, I still got another story for my portfolio (well, first draft at least!) finished to a deadline, and one that I enjoyed writing, exploring some new stuff.

I was worried that it wouldn't have any eyes on it at all so I'd get no feedback, which would have been disappointing, but it worked out grand in the end! 🙂

On your writing group, it definitely sounds like something I'd be interested in. I'm still learning the short story craft, as songwriting and lyrics is my background, but I've been doing smaller creative writing exercises on and off for the last few years and really enjoy it. But if my work was good enough down the road I'd love to submit short stories to publication or work towards a novel. But any guidance and feedback from a group of experienced writers would be fantastic.

Is it just say hello on the discord group, yeah?

Thanks again for the feedback and engagement, it's appreciated.
