I'm Back!

You may have noticed posting has been a little light here the past couple days. OK, the posting has been nonexistant the past couple days. I've been busily tidying up a short story for someone who offered to critique it. I won't presume to disclose who is doing the critique, but this person is in a position to know good writing and is pretty much a perfect stranger to me, hence feels no obligation to spare my feelings. No offense to my family, but I'm pretty sure none of them would tell me if I'd set a load of hog droppings to paper. This marks the first time I'll get an unbiased, no-holds-barred, pull-no-punches assessment of a piece I've written. I don't recall ever being quite this nervous in my life.
