I like the "bundle a bunch of short bits" idea, Mark! Good use of resources for both readers and writer.

Thanks, Jack. I think it works better for the really short ones. And it helps me clear the stockpile.

Here is what happens: I go back and read some of my posts and think, "Well, that was nuts. Am I getting too out there?" Then I read Mark Starlin and my fears are allayed. I still have a way to go to catch up with that guy!

🤣 "Way out. That's where the fun is. Way out!"

Once you realize you are not going to be taken seriously as a writer, you are free to write anything. But I appreciate those who "get me." Thanks, Sharron. 🤓
