This is an email I recently received, and it left me feeling quite fine.

Hello, Melissa!
Just want to tell you that I started to read your Steven's Story and I do really love it. I like the style... that bitter-sweet humor, the philosophy. You are very good! A delightful read. You make me feel hungry for my own writing. My problem is I can't be fluent enough in English to write just what I want, but I try to do small scetches...
Anyway, thanks for posting your wrting here. If the "Steven Story" is going to be published as a book, I surely would love to have a copy.
With much appreciation,
V***
