On the acceptance of criticism

[Gina Rath]

"... It seems to fill my head with ideas -- only I don't know exactly what they are."

Mike, that was absolutely delightful, and is one of my favorite poems. (Should I admit that?) I am not one of the Raths in the poem, I liked the poem before I met the Rath. Whoa, maybe I met the Rath because I liked the poem.

You have penned my thoughts! (Except for "Am I a man?") I too am uncertain and reluctant to actually be scrutinized in a public forum. But taking the step to actually expose my work can only bring about improvement (at least that's what I keep telling myself).

So how does it feel to slay the Jabberwock? Are you chortling in your joy?
