Squee!

So I don't post about my work here very often, but, um . . .

. . . I kind of got an article published in The Atlantic.

And I'm kind of really really excited about it.

I didn't have time to read the article earlier - but I just have and it was a fascinating read! Very cleverly done.

I took the quiz - and I'm hardly a person prepared to do it; I've read little Dickens, and some of it in translation; and I've never heard of the other writer before. Yet, I still got 58% - I know it's not a good result, but I'd say that if a non-native speaker who is not as familiar with the writer can still get more than a half of the answers correct, then it means that good writing shines through after all.

I don't know if it'w true, but the rhythm of Dickens prose seems more natural; it flows. Not sure if I'm right.

I think you are. :-) And thanks for the kind words.
