nomi338: I just reached the milestone of 300 posts. I never intended to be on here that long. However, once I joined and experienced the joy of posting something I wrote that was favorably received, given six stars, I was hooked and have remained hooked every since. I have allowed my membership to lapse a couple of times to see if I could wean myself away. I could not. So, I will no longer even try. I am forced to admit I am in love with FanStory and all its wonderful authors. I have made some awesome friends that I hope to be friends with until the end. I have lost at least two that broke my heart: Brooke Baldwin (Adewpearl) and Bob (Mastery) I will miss and mourn them forever.
I am a published author with several book all published through KDP-Amazon. My latest is My Two Faces. It is available in Kindle, paperback and hard cover formats.
    Michael Cassar: Congratulations on your 300 posts !!! I am happy to read that you are also a published author. I?m humbled by your acceptance to be your fan. So, you too, have had the trepidation about FanStory. In my short tenure, I have discovered many helpful authors who are willing to truly share the wonderful art of critique. You comments feel more like a dialogue at a dinner table, with a lost friend. Thank you for being you. -

Immigration Blues was posted today. It is a Milestone Post. Post number 300!
    nomi338: I have never been one for cookie cutter comments or remarks. Those do no one any good. I am aware that the majority of my review comments take on a religious bent. I am a religious person, but I am not a fanatic. I do have other interests. Before embracing religion I led a full and somewhat debauched life. I have not forgotten, I just choose not to live like that anymore. A dive into my portfolio will disclose a more diverse viewpoint and take on life. -


nomi338: When I began to take writing seriously, I never saw myself at the place I now am in. Likewise, when I joined FanStory, I never would have guessed that I would still be a member at this point in my life. I do not believe that I would be able to consider myself a writer had I not joined and benefitted so much from my association with the site and its bevy of gifted and giving members. This site and the things I have learned here, I would equate with being enrolled in a series of classes at one of the revered schools of writing where enrollment would be costly and limited to a privileged few. Anyone who does not take advantage of the opportunities offered to its members is wasting their time.
    Carlos' girl: Hopefully everyone has their own personal reasons for being here...to them it is not a waste of time. -
    Jesse James Doty: We all have our reasons for staying with Fan Story. I revere the friendships I have made along the way.

nomi338: This image is a copy of my latest book of poetry: My Two Faces (Two sides of me).
The book contains regular subjects and religious themed poetry. This cover is from the kindle version, there is a paperback and a hard cover version. Each version has a different cover, and they are priced differently.

    Debi Pick Marquette : Hey Nomi, congrats on your 2nd place win. I was cheering and watching it the whole way as you swung back and forth from 2nd to 1st , back and forth! It was a close one and I am very proud of you as it was a great poem answer to a great song. -
    nomi338: I was surprised and very grateful as I have never gotten this close to a win before. -


nomi338: My new profile thought is not original, but I like it. So, I am using it anyway. It is: Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.
    mrsmajor: May not be original, but I'm sure in agreement with it... -
    Bonnie Seach : Beautiful and heartwarming saying. I am making it special for myself. Thank you -
    Bonnie Seach : A beautiful and heartwarming saying. Thank you for sharing. -
    Bonnie Seach : Brilliant! I love the quotation. Thank you so much for sharing this. All success to you 👌 👍🏻 🌹 😊 -
    Bonnie Seach : Hello, again my good friend, Nomi. I have been off FanStory for a month or two. Things have been getting really difficult here in SA. I do like your poem. It certainly explains conditions in this evil world. thank you for sharing. Best wishes to you. Bonnie -
    Terry Broxson: The interview just went live. Terry Happy birthday almost. I am on the 11th. Terry -
    nomi338: Yes it is a great quote. Sadly it did not originate with me either. Like you, I liked it and decided I was going to use it. -


nomi338: I recently arrived at the conclusion that a man may change the way he looks, but the only real meaningful change occurs when he changes the way he thinks.
    l.raven: Your a wise man my sweet friend...so true Nolan...good to see you...Linda love xxoo -


nomi338: I fell in love with this quote from activist Angela Davis. "I no longer accept the things I cannot change, I now want to change the things I cannot accept." Genius.
    rama devi: Indeed - that IS genius! Thanks for sharing :-) -
    zanya: Wow an interesting angle! zanya -
    esacony: Acceptance is not surrender and change is an inside job. -
    Gypsymooncat: I've never thought of it like this! How bloody true and how well said! -
    Bonnie Seach : A most quotable quote! It makes a lot of sense.
    Usually we are reminded that we must change ourselves to accept change. Thank you for sharing. Bonnie -


nomi338: To be able to form coherent thoughts and to have the ability to put those thoughts down on paper and also to be able to comment on the expressed thought of others is a gift not to be under valued. I struggle to say only things that uplift and upbuild when I comment on the work of others, because who needs to be attacked or torn down. That should never be what any of us are about. Those that enjoy attacking the work of others should leave this site and never return.
    michaelcahill: Yes. Perfectly said. And YOU should never leave. -


nomi338: When the desire to write equals the ability to write that one must write constantly. The urge to write will not be suppressed or denied in any way. I wake up from my sleep with an idea and I must write it down. Riding in a car, walking down the street. At any time or place I write. I have to.
    michaelcahill: Yep, agree. Of course, I've had some dates that didn't appreciate it ... I think they were critiques. -
    Linda Engel: If only my muse would cooperate with my desire... -
    mrsmajor: Yep there's a small notebook every where in my house...Everywhere!!...LOL -


nomi338: I have been writing poetry since 1957. I have written four books of poetry that were published by America Star Books Inc. My fourth book's title is "My Three Phases." I am still working on my life story. The story is not that hard for me to tell since I was there for every moment that took place. I am afraid that I might have adult ADHD, I get easily distracted.
    Cedar: Welcome to this site. Have fun and enjoy yourself. Bill -
