Waves of Kindness. Yesterday I posted a piece about my experiences as a writer, thinking it would elicit some chuckles while getting my point across that writing is harder than it looks. What I got were messages and comments from other writers saying how much it moved them, and that what I had described in the piece struck a chord in them and rung true to their own lives. Life is a solitary thing. No matter how close we are to friends and family, we still all have to go through it, in a sense, alone. Knowing that there is someone out there who can empathize with you can mean everything in the world sometimes. So, thank you to everyone who wrote me about the piece. If I brightened your day and made you smile, I'm glad for it. Write on, my friends! ...but don't outsell me!
