Thanks! I appreciate that. I've realized that my tendency to write shorter pieces, "snapshots" as Spike calls them, is not as noticeable or flashy as the longer, involved works. And I do enjoy writing semi-essays and analysis posts. Ah well, we all have our talents, I guess. Just can't help a little envy of writers like you, strangerian, who can find an honest-to-goddess plot and follow it to its proper end, and do it with style. :)
