@James25 Then they wouldn't be your words. That being said, what I wrote above is a sort of rewrite. The original is clunky and that's how best I found to share the sentiment.

@Samek yes the way you said it is also a great way of saying it

@James25 Also James, as a fellow writer, keep writing! I look forward to seeing your other stuff.
