Timothy,
I want to continue to encourage you to write. The motivation of those who write harsh evaluations of the writting of others needs to be considered...
Tearing others down is not the sign of a healthy or well balanced individual. The comment that "If you do not have anything good to say about someone then keep quiet." is something people need to remember!
I see many positive comments about your stories, focus on those positive comments and forget about the flamers. Your stories are enjoyed by many. I hope for more new stories and the continuation of your existing stores.
Keep healthy!
