As I am -proudly! – posting the submissions to the 1st Cindafuckingrella Creative Writing challenge these days, I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you reading along.

Getting it out there can be pretty unnerving and one can get pretty sensitive about critique.
So thanks for your support.
