Gliding into the New?

Some time back a Reader spanked me for what I'm about to do in the next couple of sentences. This Reader held that it was a form of shaming. I felt ashamed for doing something so nasty to my Readers for about, oh, I'd say half an hour. Since that Reader unsubscribed over my "shaming" of Readers, that Reader isn't here to spank me again.

As I'm edging closer to the fiction pond into which I'll consider dipping a toe or two, here's a fleshed-out version of a short story I wrote in response to some superb art created by my partner in life and art.

Show of hands: who thinks I should A) get "Graceless" published this year for sure nomatterwhat and B) write more fiction?
Speaking of said partner in life and art, how about some fabulous music brought to our attention by AleXander?

Starting the new year off with some music. One of my favorite rabbit holes to fall into on the internet is YouTube — taking leaps and bounds to explore as…
Hat's by the door and as always, the coinage goes to an excellent cause (keeping the lights on and the rent paid, excellent) so thank you!
https://ko-fi.com/remingtonwriteThere it is, Readers. See what you think and know that my deep gratitude puddles around your reading glasses every time you read something I've written (messy metaphor....oh well).

Know what time it is? Time for RW to get back to it.
Thank you!
