Shirley, this was a brilliant essay and lesson and as much as I wish I got to the point or took out unnecessary details—that’s what consumes my entire editing experience lol…the grit and hard part of writing! I’m honored you’d include me in this list….

But truly, I just loved the lesson you gave us!
And hey—noooo way—are you ever boring!

You’re a phenomenal writer! Love your stuff!!

Thanks again. Biggest hug!!
