Hi, Sylvia - I'm responding to your request for feedback of Coppett. First, let me apologize if this is not the right place, but finding my way around on this site is rather challenging and this is the easiest way for me.

You call yourself a kangaroo - does that mean you're from Aus? I live in NZ. Nice to meet you!
Hi Sylvia, I enjoyed reading your piece "First Love". Did you ever try writing in German?
