I just posted this, but I really wanted to get it out into our entire community. I would prefer that we not list specific names, because you are sure to forget someone and then we'd feel terrible, but if you want to contribute your thoughts on what our writing community means to you--this can be the place to do it. And are you referring this writing community on to other writers? Bringing in new writers, also brings in new readers to JB. Both go hand in hand. *smiling*
Can I just take a moment and say thank you? As writers, we work in a solitary world. Having intelligent, thoughtful conversations like this are not only instructive--they are vital to learning and keeping a writing community bound together.
You guys are simply and completely awesome! Thank you for being 'talking heads' that are so freaking willing to share you thoughts and knowledge!

I have a notebook where I keep tidbits and interesting thoughts I stumble across on these boards. I won't be able to do any meaningful writing until I'm a little more entrenched in this job, but hopefully I'll be able to put that info to good use!
A big thanks to all ;D

I'm actually working on a story that uses a story about one Forum member's relative.
(He gave me permission) And something that happened to another Forum member.
And I like all the support you get here.

It is very nice to have a place where you can talk to people with similar interests and at varying stages of their writing careers. The resources that I have found due to the direction of other forum followers have been invaluable. The actual advice has been helping me to overcome some of the things that have blocked my writing. Thank you to all.

I love this board, and thank you to all! For years I've had stories in my head but never took the time to try and write them. Then I started e-mailing a buddy of mine with the same interest in writing, and it motivated me to put my ideas to paper. After devouring Jim's books I found his site, then his amazing blog to help get started, then I found all of you! From this board I have found writing programs, articles, advice, do's and don'ts, and so much more. Best of all, I've found many more people like me, aspiring authors. Yes I know there are dedicated websites out there for such a thing, but I kind of look at this board like I would a private school - It's small, but with enough people that the setting is kept intimate. Most of the people on here you see their ID and you at least have some small inkling as to what they're currently doing. I love that!

Careful now. Either someone will prove you wrong or the rest of us will start getting heads swollen to the size of watermealons, as we binge contemplating our wonderful perfections. 8)

You've found me out, duricel bunny ;D
I'm all that and a bag of potato chips! (really I'm just slightly dated and on a natural high from putting my first book up on Amazon!)

I put it under my son's name and dedicated it to him. Because I have to leave for a while to work as a nurse. He's too young right now but someday he'll see this and understand.

Yeah, I'm now an indie amazon author. Personal first and a great sense of success having that first book out there.
