You'd have to come over. I have no idea what i'm going to do with it when I stop, but I feel an easy 100 pages in me before I'll have to start increasing the font size for length.

If this metaphor is interesting to you, this pithy comment I wrote here ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16565135 ) is related.

Based on the link you provided, I can confidently say you have a lot of skill at writing engaging prose and turning ordinary into story.

You should write a book or short stories or something!

Wow, thank you!

We'll see if I still have it takes, or if I'm just a one-hit wonder. I've been out of the game for a long time. About 25~ years ago, when I was in 3rd grade, I was published my first and only time. I landed a poem in a young authors compilation.

Here's the poem, verbatim.

People with big noses are funny, Because they need lots of money, To fix their nose, that looks like a fire-hose, what they really need is reconstructive surgery.

Since then, I've grown a lot. My art has grown more egalitarian and inclusive. I'm still nervous about re-entering the scene. I'm worried it'll get dredged up, take twitter by storm and cause me to lose my job.
