Hi Rachael,

After getting to know you a little bit as a fellow crewmate on MuddyUm — Captain Brearley's world-famous floating funhouse, it's great to read more about you here. It's wonderful you live by the water and can enjoy the great outdoors. Like you, I'm finding my tribe here on Medium and am enjoying the camaraderie and support of other writers. I'm glad to have met you midway on the path from fledgling writer to "most successful wordsmith of our time. Good luck to you and us all!."
