"Tony" commented on kiko's Blog "Inside the Tomato".Yes, I thought the writing was excellent, too, Kiko. If you have to go through something like that, at least it's an experience you can now call on in your writing.

"Tony" commented on kiko's Blog "Selfishly Seeking SelflessnessEVER".It's good to hear you are feeling a bit better, kiko, though I'm sorry you had to be in hospital for three days to get there.

by kiko 2 months agoI choose to be happy in the Whirlwind in which I live. It roars,and swirls-raises high the dust and ash that blow about it's center, while white-knuckled and pale faced I cling in desperation to the mast.

by kiko 3 months agohooray! I was able to extract some constructive criticism from my most recent blog post, criticism that will help me to become a better writer! I feel my journey is painfully slow, there is so much yet to learn, and a novel yet to write. When I first landed here, I thought my book was almost finished, now I realize it was not even begun! (properly...) But , today's positive feedback has me inspired to press on!
