That was a fun story. I like the way you write. Did you read any of the books on improving writing? Normally I'm not able to read posts this long but in this case it was easy.
Congratulations on the win.

one book i recall is The Elements of Style, often called Strunk & White: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elements_of_Style
otherwise i've not studied writing per se, just "practice" a lot in blog posts like this one.
my shtick is to add humor, remove qualifiers, stay conversational. all tips real writers would share too, but maybe not the same writers. ;)
