This item was definitely interesting to me; I hope that the proofreadnig job for the think tank study went well!

For these kinds of updates that seem more oriented toward the community, I'd recommend alternatively (or perhaps additionally) posting on your newsfeed, in a blog item, etc. Updates are more likely to be seen and interacted with in higher-traffic areas of the site.

Overall, I enjoyed hearing about your proofreading job. Maybe when you get back you can share more about the experience!

I thought the visuals for this poem were great. With just a few short lines, you created a really evocative image in the reader's mind. Nice job!

From a narrative perspective, I was a little confused at the line "without barriers to hold them" and it being juxtaposed against the idea of a shepherd following behind the flock and leading them to slaughter. Was the intention to imply that barriers/guardrails would protect them from a malicious actor in the person of the shepherd? Overall, it was a little unclear what the intent of the piece is from a messaging perspective.

I think it's great that you're motivated to better develop your characters! One of the best pieces of advice that I have for character development (other than reading books on the topic, of which there are many), is to pay attention to people in real life and make note of the qualities that stick out to you. Whether it's a particular mannerism, or a fashion style, or a speech pattern, jot down those things and make lists of qualities that you can then go back to and pull from when you're writing, mixing and matching in ways that intrigue you.

In addition to posting this question in a static item in your port, you might want to consider positing it on the newsfeed and/or a message forum and/or a blog in order to draw more attention to the question and hopefully get more of a response.

I wish you the best of luck with your character development process!

I enjoyed reading this poem. I thought you did a great job with the structure (although I'm not an expert on poetry so I can't say for sure whether all the nuances of a complicated form like a sonnet were followed to a "t"). It was easy to read and engaging.

I think you did a good job defining "authentic leadership" and providing a lot of ancillary information to give the reader a clear idea of what the concept is and what it entails. The piece was well organized and well presented.
