Well John ... here's another positive response for you, though a little different ...:

Hello … this is Fred … I have been looking at your story collection on your Home Page. It is a really good mixture of topics, and you write so clearly.

The other reason for choosing this particular story of yours is its main picture ... the dog with glasses.

I used the same one for my 'Dogs can Read' article, which I hope you like.

And John, I have a new challenge for you!

First though, I want to thank you for reading some of my Medium stuff, and for liking what you read by giving it a clap. But you didn’t leave a comment – nor did you decide to ‘follow me’.

Never-the-less, having clicked on your photo-avatar and checked out your home page and liking what I saw, I have decided to follow you.

Here's my challenge-question for you:

Have you checked out my own home page yet? - especially 'All You need To Know About Fred' where you will find all my story collections.

If not, please do so via my photo-avatar, and we can then share reciprocal reads by clicking on our respective photo-avatars.

I would like us to become mutual Medium friends … I wish you all the best with your own writing journey.

Fred

👍😊❤
