Yeah, I remember my village in La Quinta all chipped in and got me this shirt with a massive floral pattern that has a V-neck that extended to my sternum. It looks terrible and I look horrible in it, but the fact that they had all worked together to buy this thing got my eyes watering.

As for your novella, don't sweat the small stuff (I enjoyed it.). Not everyone is going to enjoy everything. Hell, my first story that was accepted onto creepypasta.com was torn to pieces. I guess you just read their criticism and try to improve on the areas you feel you need work on. (Side note: my areas that need improvement = everything.)
