A Piece Of My Heart

(Not) Gushing - Totally (NOT) Gushing

So, um, I'm blushing so much right now. I just received the most glowing review I have ever received for a Horror piece I wrote a while back from none other than Angus , the Prince of Horror himself! (I called him the King of Horror, but he quickly corrected me - Stephen King is the King )

In the past I had received moderate to poor reviews (3.5 stars and no pointers for improvement? ), so I kind of thought the story was just average. Average is fine - I like being average, lol. But I figured I wouldn't write any other similar pieces if it wasn't my strong suit.

But then, Angus cut right into my shy little heart and dug something out that had been buried. His review: Review of "Pet Me, Master" made me reconsider everything I thought I knew about my writing ability. If such a prolific horror writer thought this highly of a piece of my horror writing, then what the hell am I doing waiting to write more?

I'm honestly still bowled over about it. I tried to settle down a bit before writing this so I wouldn't gush all over my keyboard (that's messy to clean up), but I don't think I've come down from my high yet. With phrases like "fantastic," "professional," "flawless," "grinning from ear to ear," "shaking my head in awe," standing ovation," "mind boggling" and being compared to the King himself ... well ... I don't know what to do with myself really. Maybe sleep will help.

And of course then he went and embarrassed me in public too: "Note: I just read one of the best short stories of hor..."

Thank you to Cobwebby Space Reader Reindeer as well for your kind comments - I hope you're able to get to sleep

Anyway, I think what I'm trying to say here is: Thank You! Really, really, thank you.

With the little audience I have here, I'd love if you would please take a moment to give Angus a review. I don't think I'll ever be able to truly repay him, but ... shut up! You're gushing!

Sorry, sorry! But if you'd like to read my story, I'd be humbled
