Thank you for the nice words @veryspider, it's always great to have some outside perspective!

I know from the field of writing (and many years spent as a copywriter and technical writer) that is takes lots and lots and lots of perseverance to get from "idea" to "realization." And I remember well one of the professors for my creative writing classes in college saying that *"what it took" to become a published author wasn't "talent" but the ability to actually sit down and string together 75,000 words and then promote the hell out of those words to every publisher on the planet.

I enjoy what I am doing "for its own sake," but I also really like the idea of sharing with a greater audience.
