Thanks for joining the conversation.

When I included what I said about Chicken Soup, I thought to myself "I hope Amy reads this and it passes muster."

By the way, I tried to find out how long the average Chicken Soup for the Soul essay is -- that's how I came upon the quote about story length -- but couldn't come up with a good answer.

If you know, I'd love it if you'd tell me!

(But totally understand if you'd rather not.

Anyway, thanks for everything you and CHicken Soup have done for essayists!
