Thank you so very much for this comment! I am very happy to hear this! Very, very, very happy! And very, very, very shy and speechless.

The most important take-out that I believe you can take from all of this is to believe in yourself, because clearly, you can do it! You've proven that to me, other readers, and most importantly, you've proven it to yourself.
Writing is one of those arts where not even the sky is the limit, unless you make it be. You're your own biggest, and only, obstacle standing in the way of whatever it is you want to reach.
I'm so very happy to see you try new things all the time, and loving it! Writing is, after all, a place where your imagination should run loose without the restriction of some writing style you are already familiar with and just like the sound of. Sometimes, well, you just got to step out of the comfort zone and write something completely different to the style you're used to writing in.

As for the part two, I'm honestly happy there isn't/won't be one. I like stories that tell just enough, and let the reader's imagination fill in the blanks. ;)
