Don't mind them, Donna. We (the majority) know your many talents.
Your pal, Tomas.

I think we should all try to be more wittier.

Why would it be dangerous to encourage Donna in her writing? You are right, I am completely clueless as to why you'd say something like that. Who gets hurt if Donna follows her muse? Donna, you do understand that Diebert is trying in his clumsy Dutch way to suggest you cannot weather the rejection your writing efforts will bring upon you? And make no mistake, rejection will happen. If you google "writer rejection," you get over 8 million results. It's almost a rite of passage for the successful writer. I say go for it. If you do fail, you'll be in good company. But if you don't... You won't know unless you try. As for me, if you keep posting here, I will continue to point out inconsistencies and errors in what you present. Not much different from what a good editor would be trying to do, no?GD1 wrote:I need encouragement, encouragement to continue on, otherwise, I'd off myself in an instant!

And you pipe down. The only place you would be in the majority is in Sing-Sing.

It's in Life's Like That section in the back of the book and begins At a garage sale...
It's on the first page of Life's Like That.
It's a true story but it happened when I was in my early thirties.
