Grandma Tildy introduced him to journalism. I love it. Chen, I really like him. Now I know where that name came from (read that post above).
Loving this story.
I'm actually always wanted to explore Chen a little more in a fic. This gave me a chance to at least use him a bit, when I thought about who Clark might meet at the halfway house. And I liked the idea of an outside influence on Clark discovering his knack for journalism. It was a fun twist.

Glad you like the story!
