has been wonderful from so many of you. i thought this would be a good time to let all know that this lit site has been a godsend. when i first subscribed, i really didn't know what i would find. but since that first day, i have seen a great deal of exceptional writing from many of you. this is the best team of wonderful writers i have ever seen assembled on one site. and as a writer, i've experienced the anonymous negative feedback but certainly, i take that all in good stride as that is just one aspect of writing. i know i have mentioned it to a few that it takes tough skin to be a writer, but it is all about persevering and striving to be the best that you can be. and i can honestly say that when i started to to take writing seriously, it took a couple years to get that first piece published in the literary world. inspiration is everything, so if have left some inspiration, then that is wonderful. but also remember that i've been so inspired by so many here. and i just want to say, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
