I want to do my part to express my sincere gratitude. This blog would be nothing without you. This month I’m going to share your links with others, stumble some pages and sites, leave a few reviews and additional comments, and give back what I can to show you how much you mean to me and the success of The Writer’s Round-About.

Thank You For Your Comments!

Michele Tune: Michele continues to be a loyal and supportive friend while we’re Writing The Cyber Highway. I cherish your feedback and your avid participation in this blog, Michele. This community would not be the same without you.

Melissa Donovan: Melissa is a fantastically talented write who provides a valuable resource at Writing Forward. I don’t know how you find the time Melissa but I am truly grateful for your support of WRA.

Rebecca Taunton: I love having you visit my blog, Rebecca. Perhaps it’s ego because I like seeing my own name but mostly it’s because you offer wonderful, thought-filled comments. Thank you so much!

Lisa Gates: Lisa, I’m still charged from the teleclass we shared weeks ago and I’m saving my pennies and dimes for another session with you. I love your visits and have your blog in my RSS feed.

James Chartrand - Men with Pens said:

Okay, I’m blushing. That’s so cool
I’d like to return the compliment by saying that I’m keeping an eye on you lately. I noted a while back that you write well (always attractive) and that I think you’re on your way to good things. You’re making moves to break through the glass ceiling so many others feel limited by, and I can see positive things happening with your blog. I’ll look forward to more good changes!

Also, you’ve collected a good list of people here. I think many of the smaller blogs and writers tend to get overlooked, which is a huge mistake. Note to readers: Never take your eye off the little guy - he (or she!) might just come at you out of left field.

Awww, thanks for the link! I’m in the middle of page proofs for my upcoming book, so I haven’t been getting virtually out much lately (or non-virtually out much, either!)

Anybody wanna come look for misplaced commas with me?! What, no takers?

Thanks, Rebecca, for your very kind words! Sorry I haven’t commented much lately. Life has just been so hectic that it’s hard to keep up!

Barbara said:

Rebecca,

Amazingly we have found inspiration in each other. The beauty of your writings move me to aspire for a greatness that remains buried deep within. As I compose my posts, I recall your “waterfall” and am reminded how less is more, and how editing could possibly lead me to produce a post that moves others and touches their hearts, as yours did me. Many thanks for the recognition. .

Thank you, nita! It’s great to know you’re about even if you aren’t commenting. Sometimes I can’t help wondering who is listening/reading or if I’m talking to empty cyber space.
You’re very welcome for the link, Rebecca. I love your visits and love your comments even more. Thank you for the lovely compliment. I hope this blog continues to provide valuable and creative posts.
