Thanks for the kind words.  Yes, it all happened, though it is more a depiction of living with manic-depression than an event.  I'm inordinately proud of that little piece and it encourages me to focus on nonfiction for a while.  I've finished novel-length pieces of fiction, but never felt they were worthy of submission.  I'm hoping this project is something I will have the confidence to submit.  Thanks again for reading my piece and for the encouragement.  I really think we should start a group for writers or those interested in writing.  See you soon.  I'm off to write or at least read, which is almost as important.
