    An Ode To WF

    I'm a dreamer, and like daydreaming too. Yesterday I was doing dishes when something came to my mind: I'm actually talking with real writers about writing. I'm one step ahead in achieving my dream.

    I'm really glad I discovered this forum, I'm glad I'm part of this large community, I'm glad I'm part of this family who always care about each other. Other forums I've been seemed too cold, uncaring, negative, but not you, so what I wanted to say is a big THANK YOU for being supportive, thank you for caring, thank you for the help, thank you for your energy and positive thoughts, thank you for the company, thank you for not seeing other writers as competition, thank you for everything (no, this is not a farewell thread, I'm still here), realizing you, members (and staff, of course), are making this place so great! Thank you for being such a kind people and good friends, thank you for not letting us down, and when we're stuck or ready to give up, you'll bring us up with your comforting words. Keep up on good work!

    Schrody,
    it's thanks to people like you.
    If i post a comment on a "WIP", LOOK! I'm a reader that's all, and i can only tell how i feel, as a READER, giving/offering feedback. Hoping to learn and grow here. So please, tell me where i'm going wrong.

    Me? I'm just a fly on the wall.

    Look! I'm trying, okay?

    One can but dream, if only i had dared.

    "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong" Mahatma Gandhi.
    Alas, i am weak.

    I must find a way to Eastbourne and i so wish that i could dance.

    There have been many times since I joined here that I have become discouraged by my lack of progress on my WIP.

    However, the support I have gotten here, from people who seem to genuinely think I may actually have a talent for writing a story, has been immeasurable. Not to mention the support I got during what was a very difficult time for me and my family. Those are things I may never be able to repay.

    I really appreciate the good fortune I had in finding this place.

    Real courage is found, not in the willingness to risk death, but in the willingness to stand, alone if necessary, against the ignorant and disapproving herd. --Jon Roland, 1976
