I’m glad you enjoy my voice. It is wonderful to know your audience. I think we’ve shared great experiences. I’m not done yet. I’m working on something that has taken me weeks. It seems as though when it comes down to moms and me telling the story I want to portray it as truthfully as possible without coming off as a momma’s boi.

I’m glad you think that my having 17 posts about bathrooms and toilets is cool. I figger you’re a bit obsessive about um, elimination, what with your massive stockpile of Toilet Paper.

UT: Yeah, I do have some idea of why I’m scaring you and it IS freaky! In this case I really have no clue as to the connection as I haven’t gotten any clues from your blog!

Thank you for your thoughts (always welcome!) about what your fellow readers might be thinking and thank you for believing in my writing.

I am glad that you are writing, too. I know what you mean about feeling like you’ve lost your voice but sometimes it’s not a loss, it’s just needing a break.

I value your view of a world (the ‘hood) that I have no idea about. You live and experience a life that I just don’t see – yet you manage to see it through a loving view. You also show that not everyone who grows up in The Projects is someone destined to fail or comes from a bad family or has a mom that isn’t loving or that doesn’t have love in their life at all.

What I have found is that writing helps me to organize my thoughts and that when you try to express yourself to others, it forces you to think more clearly about what you have to say and how you feel about whatever it is you want to say.

So don’t be too hard on yourself when it comes to writing. I do hear your voice when I read your blog. I may not know much about what you look like but I do have a sense of who you are. Which is another thing that writing is good in doing – helping the writer discover their voice or their self – at least when it comes to journaling and personal blogs (as opposed to say a news or tech blog).

It is very inneresting how our thoughts run along the same lines at times!

Ms. Q you’re scaring me. But I’m sure you know why by now. Hang in there and realize that through writing for yourself your are engaging others. I think I speak for a lot of your readers and can say that once I finish reading one of your posts I walk away with something. Something thought provoking, a good laugh… But something is being shared and embraced and appreciated.

So keep doing what you are doing. You are truly a writer.

I’ve stayed around this long because of you and a few others. At times I feel like I’ve lost my voice. Often times, I didn’t realize I actually had one worth listening to. But with your support I was able to stay on course. So for that, I thank you. I don’t know much about writing. Often, I’ll start a sentence and write a few paragraphs and come back to the pc and just erase it all.

It’s hard when you are hard on yourself.

That ego thing is so true. I won’t talk about it anymore. I think you’ve said it best.

Scary how I never met you in the flesh but your thoughts are a clear reflection of what has been running through my mind.

Keep on keeping on.

All I know is you have 17 posts about bathrooms and toilets, and I think that’s cool.
