Ego boost

So, yesterday I posted a story for the first time on a bulletin board I've been lurking at for a while. I think this is my favorite response, so far:

"The kind of emotionally dark, bleak place this went worked very well in a lot of ways and proved a powerful introduction for a new author to enter our midst. I can't, for several reasons both obvious and private, say that I enjoyed this story, but I can say it was well handled and worthy of eventual rereading and recommendation."

He called me an author.

Still alive and thinking about returning to that unfinished novel. - G.
