I need to thank you all.

Writing, as so many of you know, can be a lonely road. It's so easy to get discouraged and want to give up but, whenever I feel like this, I pop on over to WB for some inspiration, and let me tell you, I ALWAYS come away inspired.

I wish I had more time to edit your posts, there's some really good work going on here and its encouraging to see so many new writers. Alas, life, as many of you probably know, gets busy at times, and with another little one on the way, its only going to get busier.

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you though, especially to the moderators who work tirelessly to provide a positive experience to writers everywhere.

Blessings and keep writing,
ben

I'm glad to hear you're having a good time here and that you appreciate the work going on backstage Have some lollipops and a cup of crunchy tea!

You said what I've been wanting to say too, inglisbe

I'm quite new here and don't have many posts yet, but I visit here every day and many times a day. I'm rewriting and editing the novel I've been working on, and I need a lot of breaks And then I pop in here, and like inglisbe said, there is always inspiration to be found. Even if what I read has nothing to do with the problem at hand in my own writing at that moment, it gives me renewed joy at the craft, the satisfaction, the complexity... all those intagible but wonderful aspects of writing

I'm hoping to take more part in the discussions and do more critiques, and perhaps connect more with people on a personal level, because I'm definately here to stay.
So thank you, for providing this place
