I certainly can't fault the writing, it's exceptional. Was it intentional to stop mid word? I can't say I've seen that before. If it was intentional, I would definitely do an introduction to the series at the beginning..actually even if you didn't mean for it to cut off I would still do a bit of an introduction to allow people to know that you plan on doing a series of shorts about real life scenarios as you told me.

And pictures are key here, it's very difficult to attract attention without them. You can actually take any downloaded photo you have and drag it straight onto the submit a story, or you can go through an image hosting site. I prefer the first method, I don't trust that a hosting site won't break down and I'll lose the pictures I've brought from there.

It's funny because when I first joined I put up a short story as my first post as well, then later found out that the etiquette was to do an introduction. People really love a very personal introduction, the more about yourself, a picture with you and a steemit logo, the more interest it attracts. I, however, did my introduction second and failed on all accounts haha!

I just put up the second episode to the only short story series I've ever written. I'm a novelist in general, have become a blogging photographer since joining steemit as well.

Welcome Ace!

Oh and, I'll wait to hear back from you before I vote, in case you did plan on adding more :)
