Poetry is something I love to read, but I've never been able to write it beyond the odd limerick or haiku, and then quite poorly. Writing fic comes somewhat easier to me.

I think we've all learned a lot since the first chapter we wrote. It's a natural thing, as in practice makes perfect, I think. ;)

Aw, thank you for your kind words! It takes quite a bit of willingness to work on improvement, and I think I do no more than pushing you in the right direction. You are the one who's doing the work. :D
