I really appreciate this kind of feedback at the moment, ya know? I'm also really glad to hear that the stuff that I write is kind of entertaining. I'd like to write more fiction, but until I can really produce that kind of prose, at least people are enjoying the stuff I write here.

I think you're right when you say that every little bit helps keep the momentum going. Lately, I've also thought that just like short stories or novel writing is different then essay writing, fiction writing is also a lot different then journaling or blogging. When I sit down to write, it's almost like I'm pulling from a different place, and I really need to exercise it more!
