I don't know if you'll read this, but I still have not forgotten how 8 years ago, you pushed me to surpass my comfort zone. You pushed me to keep pursuing that plot thread in my head. You pushed me to keep mowing forward, turning what was supposed to be an inconsequential project into a 9 month journey. Years later, I've published a book and gotten a Daily Deviation.
Wherever you are Firebat, thank you, and happy birthday.
