Thank you
Thank you Kabu. I read a lot of things but I rarely comment and maybe that's the issue. A long, long time ago, and I mean 2003, I used to comment a lot but we had some very thinned skinned people here. I made a comment about this one particular poster who consistently misspelled the same word over and over and over. All I said was, "The word is spelled xxxxx. Otherwise you have an excellent story going!" She went on a rampage, tearing me up one side and down the other. I stopped commenting after that.
I held the #1 blog here for many months back then when this place was really really busy. When this woman went nuts on me, I stopped coming back. It wasn't fun and I have always believed that if something isn't fun, it isn't worth doing. Right now, I basically post my stuff so I can look it over and make adjustments to it. Writing is fun for me. Writing is medicine for me. I write, therefore I live.
I'd love to have lots of people reading my stuff but I think I have about five steady readers here. I'd write for myself but right now, I'll write for you and them. This place gives me a sense of a deadline. Most of the time, I write a section of an ongoing novella and post it here. Sometimes, as I am right now, I get ahead a few days. I like thinking I 'must get stuff done for Blog-it!' It keeps me motivated to write every day.
I think a couple weeks back I posted that I was going to try to read and comment more and as soon as I get some personal stuff squared away, I do intend to do that again. Right now, I write my current story for you. You inspired it, you've continously commented on it, and you have kept me going down the path. I was going to surprise you but when this story goes up for sale on Amazon, I am going to dedicate it to you. In the mean time, I write for the therapy it provides me. The stuff sells on Amazon so I like that. This place gives me a place to air it out.
I know this is off topic but I swear it is true. I was having a problem getting my Kindle Fire to reauthorize my Verizon wireless account. I was talking to one of the Verizon operators and she was helping me get it right and she asked my name. I told her and she softly screams, "NO WAY! No way!!!" I was wondering what she meant. She asks if I am the guy selling on Amazon by that name and I told her I had books up there. She told me she had bought "The Darkness," "The Touch," "Dave," and "Things My Father Taught Me" and loved them. Talk about irony.
Oh well... probably the longest comment posted here in a while. Thanks again for the compliments. I promise to get out and make more comments soon. My life has been one huge complication after another since January 2014 when my wife collapsed at work and our lives changed forever. Writing has saved my life, of that, there is no doubt. If no one else ever reads my stuff again, I'll continue to write... but I sincerely appreciate those of you who do read my postings.
Thanks for everything.

Your weork deserves way more readers than jus LIL' me. Do you read others and comment...or a calling card? it helps to increase your reader list and your work is so good.
