I totally know what you mean about having the need for thick thick skin. I did 20 years in the military, so I am no stranger to the occasional ass chewing.

You are also correct about the way I structured the paragraphs. To be honest, I didn't know myself if the piece was going to be essay form, or a poetry type piece and that in itself probably will lead the read to confusion. That's the type of criticism I love!

I'd also be honored for you to look over some of my work. Like ya said we can work that out through DM's. I have a few ideas that I have been mulling over in my head, but now I just need to put them down to print.

AFTER EDIT: And you're correct once again! I did leave out the never.
