Awww thank you, my friend! :'D Definitely one of the best positives from the contest is to have met your acquaintance! Posting for 30 straight days was surely a feat, and none of those koans took less than 30 minutes to finish too. So, I spent almost a day (or even more) including the explanations for them haha! I really don't know how I managed to complete it while feeling discouraged.

I'm glad it had that effect on you, certainly one I hoped to achieve! I hope I painted a realistic picture and people don't get overly turned off by it haha! Doing things with 100% effort is the only thing I know how to do, whether it's making a post or writing a comment. Maybe it was too unusual, but really though, I wouldn't change a thing. I didn't want to compromise my vision just to get more participation, so I'm glad that there are a handful of you who appreciated it enough to participate :D

This is only the beginning of our many interactions! I'm looking forward to all of them. I appreciate you taking the time to read and comment, and just be overall supportive of this. Words alone cannot do my gratitude justice! :D
