Thanks Phonoho...that means a lot to me mate.
Interesting question, yes my family know I write. They've never read any of it, they've never really expressed an interest and I have never offered. That's the way I like it. They have encouraged, I guess by reading to me form a young age and invoking a love of the written word within me.
Hmmm...just curious what is the reason you haven't commented on some of my work? You aid there is a reason, didn't elaborate. I'm avidly curious. I'm glad you find my comments encouraging...I find you do the same for me. My work has improved much on this site...
Enjoy those White Russians mate..
