Hi Anihow.
I just read Sayan Soul Chapter 1 pt 1. I like your style, I found it intriguing, sharp, witty, and sardonically humourous, so good work. I also liked the little details, like the descriptions of the goings on in the kitchen that really establish the setting. I would say be careful about keeping sentences flowing and clear without being too long, a couple of them came over as slightly choppy, but you certainly know how to write.
I don't know many people in the Albuquerque area. I don't get out much, and my friends/family are mostly in northern NM. I'm not terribly familiar with Scottish or Irish music. Scandinavian folk music is good, too. Anyway, it's cool to see NM folks around here!
My Album is full of stuff I've made. If you like costumes.... check it out. I try to change stuff around from time to time to show new photos, but I do have my favorites that I keep for longer.
