Comments on: Everything is Fuel For Writers http://welshscribe.co.uk/writing/everything-is-fuel-for-writers/ A Welshman's scribblin' place Sat, 10 Jul 2010 11:35:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Janice http://welshscribe.co.uk/writing/everything-is-fuel-for-writers/comment-page-1/#comment-249 Janice Thu, 26 Mar 2009 16:37:48 +0000 http://welshscribe.co.uk/?p=502#comment-249 Thank you Barbra! I've seen you in Commentville on a few blogs and it makes me so happy to be given the chance to connect like this! (I have giddy-itis at the moment; one of the symptoms is a rash of exclamation marks!) One of the reasons my blog isn't up yet is that I wanted to be absolutely sure, before I do, that I'm not lying to myself when I say that connection is still my main reason for building it, the aching need to get my writing out there and help folk avoid the self inflicted pain my perfectionism, variable self-esteem and analysis paralysis have caused me. Marc himself probably has, but I've never been Stumbled before - not even sure how it works! So a heart-felt thank you - it's been a week of firsts! Thank you Barbra!

As long as I can still do what I was created to do, does it really matter if I never fit back into the tidy constraints of the original ‘box’, a box that was precision cut to contain something perfect and unused, leaving no room for untidy growth, movement or change?!" Wonderful!!!

I value all of your input, but more than that, I appreciate the time you take out of your own writing schedule to support other people. At the risk of sounding mushy, Marc and I met through you and Eric - a Welshman and a Scot meeting on an American blog! I knew from the way he writes passionately and supports tirelessly - he doesn't just comment - that he's my kind of blogger. It's no coincidence that we met in the comments over at Blogopolis Blueprint. It's a supportive community, and for me, a safe place to write more than two words in a comment and to be shamelessly lyrical! @Marc Diolch! For giving me the chance to do this, and for understanding what's at my core and valuing it. Many folk don't. I'm really looking forward to seeing where you take this week's theme tomorrow! @Sean

I find a lot of your posts to be filled with a spiritual meaning Janice. I like it. I like it a lot. Thanks for taking the time to write something for me and my readers :) I think you picked out my favourite line there Sean, particularly the “never changing core.”
