Congratulations, Carole! Hugs!!

Congratulations, Kimberly! Hugs!

Thank you, Carmel. Thank you. Huge Hugs

Judy, I don't see how, but I appreciate your kind comment. Hugs

Thank you, Alex. You and I are quite similar psychologically. Hugs!

I wish to assure you all I'm not an attention seeker and that my offer to leave the group was not a stunt. I enjoy being where I am comfortable but prefer to blend into the wallpaper if I'm unsure or anxious. Thank you all for your kind words. Hugs.

Dale, It seems I was in the right place after all, just confused. Still, I hope I voted correctly. I liked that cover the first time I saw it. Good luck. Hugs!

Dale, I haven't read the book, so how do I submit my cover vote without a review? I can't see a place to just vote for the cover. Sorry if I'm overlooking something simple. Thank you. Hugs

Dale, That is so kind of you to say. Yes, I have learned much from being in this group and truly enjoy being a part of it. I also care for you as though we were friends who see each other in person often. Thank you for your comment. Hugs!

Carole, I think "unconditional" is my favorite word. Thank you for your care and support. Hugs!

Erica, Thank you for your encouragement and acceptance. It means a lot to me to be part of this group. Thank you. Hugs!

Alex, Thank you for your lovely response. You have brought me to tears. I don't want to leave the group and enjoy encouraging all of you because I care about you. I feel the same as you about being supported as a person in this group beyond being a writer. I just feel like a charlatan or something because I haven't made it yet. I also know I'm in major manic depressive mode and don't want that to rub off here. I know most of my Medium articles aren't pleasant. Hugs

Thank you DJ and Alicya. I'm now able to keep crackers and powdered mashed potatoes down. Good sign. Hugs

Alex, as grateful as I am to be accepted as part of this group, unfortunately, not being a published author, I have NO information to share and truly feel bad about that... like perhaps I really don't belong here?
To make this clear, it was not your comment that made me respond this way. I've been thinking about it for a long time. Plus being sick always makes me extra sad and weepy. Still, I feel I should leave the group because I'm just a writer and don't have publishing experience to offer.
Not trying to upset anyone. Please don't nobody get mad at me. However, if you take a vote and prefer I remain quiet or leave the group, I will do whatever is asked of me.
Thank you all for your kindness and concern. Hugs to All.

Alex, Thank you for sharing all this valuable information. Hugs.

Thank you DJ and Alex. No longer getting sick, but feeling very weak, tired, and I ache all over. Hugs.
