Well, I want you to know that I rank you very highly when you write stories or in similar way. 

I am not a professional writer by any stretch of the imagination. I did take a creative writing course in college. That was a long time ago though.

So, you're accepting it that you're a professional writer. I also wrote my story, not as long, but it took me around 2 hours. (Consider I'm not native).
