I honestly don't understand your comment. Of course you are a writer and I have paid as much or exceeded your investment in this site. My point is that a time comes when we start believing the press, accepting the support and good wishes from like-minded individuals and we tend to hide under that blanket.
The person that picks up a paperback novel in the airport is not a signed in member of FS. We should know and accept the difference
Comment from rjpurdy
What a statement Ingrid! I love you for your confidence. Actually, it's more than confidence you exude. It is a knowing that leaves no doubt who you are. You said you are a writer, and I believe you. I have also had the good fortune to read a tad bit of your impressive body of work. You are a writer!
My journey is the same as yours, only different. My mountains look different than your mountains. But, the beauty of writing about them satisfies me thoroughly. I have not yet reached that plateau, or gathered the confidence to say, "I am a witer" but it's what I was born to do. Thank you for your resolution and your "knowing." It stiffens my own resolve to spread my wings and write like a man. A sensitive man, but a man no less. A brilliant essay my friend and I shall follow you on this world-wide web we call home.

Some people confuse confidence with arrogance, but that's not me. I sit in a darkened room and let my finger dip and sway while dancing the tango alone. If you are not the reincarnate of my old friend Erik, then you should surely read the stories in the portfolio of Captain Jack. For you, I feel a connection through the electronic signals of screen, keyboard and style. Have a great Christmas and be kind to yourself and others. ingrid

Yes, you are indeed a writer. Well written and challenging. Some of us like challenges and many do not. I'll be watching with excitement. I have no doubt you will be successful. This is a comfortable place and I'm a bit fearful to venture out next year, but I know I must. Looking forward to your new site. mikey

You are the 'kid' I probably smacked before corporal punishment was disallowed. You have both infuriated me and delighted my acceptance that I DO recognize talent. You should be very proud of your accomplishments on FS. In a very short period of time, you went from sloppy, imaginative writing to proficiency and more importantly, you never lost the raw ingredient, the originality of your voice, tone and crowd-pleasing star quality.
For every six we garner here in our puddle, there's an editor who will slap us down, but that doesn't mean we won't succeed. We were meant to--eventually--don't you think?
Comment from Nosha17
You exude confidence in your writing and that is a good thing, we have to believe in ourselves if we wish others to believe in us. I am quite certain you will succeed. I personally believe with enough ambition anyone can succeed provided it is coupled with talent. I wish you much success with your website. Well expressed piece of writing and an enjoyable read. Faye

My grandchildren are in 'boot camp.' It is a state of mind that I've dropped them into to ready them for Christmas, preparing them, ensuring that, we ALL have a good day. The two pre-requisites to achieving this goal are grace and charm. When I ponder on those two words, I totally accept the truth of employing language and accepting destination. I'm not BETTER than others, not by a long shot, but I am pointed in the correct direction and have enough grace to carve a path through a thick jungle of mediocrity.
Thank you for your kindness.

Darling, Sweetheart, Beloved Michael.. stay chilled. There are writers that I respond to and others I read, but ignore, believing they are talent, but have agendas I can't meet. You definitely have talent, but you went into some habitual response towards me and have difficulty reacting to pure business acumen. I'm still sorry you misunderstood my interest in your words . I absolutely read. I choose not to comment, ingrid
-
well that settles it...I'm a push that button...-wink-
-
Brig it on. I'll bet you get to enjoy the taste of mud.

-smile-...I aint scared of you Ingrid. I know your good...even great....but I aint scared...-smile-....you sure you don't want to open your Christmas gifts first...-headtilt-....careful...yolur about to fall...whoops...lol

Issue the challenge, puppy. I can play.
-

-
Coward...where do you want to go...congress or emotion?
-
I'll take it to the state supreame if I have to....no way you win ..-headshake-...no way-
-
when I made that statement above us....it was in the honored excpectation of fair play...shirts off, bare knuckle, short knife...NOT...."you go boy"......-headshake- do not trifle with me Ingrid........not a good idea...-fingershake-

Tough haul, pit bull. I invested, now play. Fai? Give me a break! You chose cute. I chose a subject--and you bloody well thought I'd dip and dive. React or concede.
Comment from gypsycaravan
And yes, you are because you write. You don't even have to be ranked or read, in my opinion. You just have to write. Talking about being a writer or wishing you were a writer doesn't make you a writer, but putting that pen to paper or tapping those keyboard keys sure does. Congratulations on the website, Spiritual Echo. You are not only a writer, but a talented and brave writer.

Some courage comes naturally and some is earned. We need to find our way through the maize to believe in ourselves. Be safe this Christmas. ingrid
Comment from Jay Squires
I assume you will let us know when your web page is up and running?
Where I was is not where I'm at, and where I'm headed, [I don't like the "at" after "I'm". TO ME it sounds better "...where I am" but I'm not sure it's a grammatical violation. Just a suggestion.]
my trek across the dessert from the improbable to the absolute. I am a writer! [And you are a writer. A good writer! And like me you don't know the difference between the very dry place and the whipped cream that tops your shortcake--now with footprints on it. I can never keep it straight myself. There's something about, "As with any good dessert you go back for the SECOND-S". Doesn't make sense to me either, but it just lets me know there are two S's in dessert.
Good post though.

And happy holidays to you. This is a post to encourage, bolster, and also to remind 'title' winners on FanStory how we started and reach out to other zealots who love writing. You are a star--and don't forget it!
Comment from Sasha
Yes, my dear, you are most definitely a writer. From the beginning I have loved your posts and always look forward to seeing a new one in my message box. Whether you write fiction or non-fiction, you never cease to capture my full attention and most important, you make me think. I wish you all the best in the success of your website and look forward to seeing you name in bright lights alongside Mark, Lee, Stan, Dean and Avril. As I said earlier, yes you are a writer, a terrific writer.
Opps, found a spag...you left out the 'p' in A Personal Christmas salute.

Perhaps I've never told you what my crystal ball predicts when I force Mexican co-ordinates into my omnipotent skill-set, but you are the new Dear Abby. The columns should have a sub-heading...been there done that--wish I hadn't.
Dear Sasha;
I've outgrown my relationships and need to move on to feel that I'm working up a sweat. What do you suggest? ingrid

Love the title. Definitely not the Ms. Dr. Phill...LOL
LI understand what you are saying completely. Starting your own website is a great first step. Also, continue to submit to local (and not so local) newspapers and I have no doubt you will develop a great following.
