There are quite a few typos and similar in this one, I’m afraid.

Just reading the first chapter got me right back into the world.

Of course one is (hopefully) pleased with it at the time of writing, but to still be pleased even with that subsequent distancing is very satisfying – it’s like, hey, maybe I can do this after all.

And yes, as glenda says, when a complete stranger tells you they really enjoy your work, it’s quite an amazing feeling.
