Trial by fire, sometimes the best way to get over the initial shock and nerves of a high stress situation. Get it out of the way. You captured the chaos and disassociated state of Kamila well. Good overall

Heat index: inferno. World: smoldering. Me: elbows deep in Pejorative edits and powder room paint. Writer tip: Don’t wait for the “right mood.” Write ugly. Edit honest. ☕ #WritingLife #AmEditing #ChaosAndCraft

Latest transmission is out. Weekly or semi-weekly, periodic, occasional general post - when every I get around to it. :-) Check it out. Also, just dropped a short fiction. Have a look.

Thanks, and yes. Wanted to give a glimpse into his life, the connection to Mae in a line or two. Hopefully I conveyed it. This is the challenge I love about short stories. You have tell more with less.

THANKS! Glad you enjoyed it. I had a good time writing it. Looking forward to doing more.
