When you have a problem, there's always somebody out there to encourage you and to point you in the right direction. I'm so glad that you stuck with nano and that you're progressing on your book :-)PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521953491880916840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797188666559531190.post-29536189064111956922011-01-18T20:56:32.973-05:002011-01-18T20:56:32.973-05:00What Carrie said is so true - it is war.

You have to go after it with a club."<br />That is the only way my writing progresses. As others have said, the fridayflash community is full of wonderful, supportive writers whom I count as friends...even the ones who disparage cats. ;)Laura Enohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09982794146667832204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797188666559531190.post-14860245689798104762011-01-18T15:56:37.442-05:002011-01-18T15:56:37.442-05:00Janet & Catherine: Agree completely - the comm...Janet & Catherine: Agree completely - the community of folks is fantastic.<br /><br />Rachel: Yes, the #FridayFlash folks in particular. I blogged about them over at <a href="http://writeanything.wordpress.com/2011/01/17/rule-1-you-must-write/" rel="nofollow">WriteAnything</a> yesterday.

No one else, except someone in the trenches understands us and that camaraderie binds us together and spurs us on through life struggles and writing struggles alike. I know the #fridayflash community has helped me. Not sure how I would have gotten through this past year without them.Rachel Blackbirdsonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02246966713076881105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797188666559531190.post-67757733019617552352011-01-18T14:29:13.764-05:002011-01-18T14:29:13.764-05:00Tony,
I always enjoy your posts, be them fiction ...Tony,<br /><br />I always enjoy your posts, be them fiction or fact.<br /><br />That said, I can't really narrow down who I would thank for their help... there are too many. The entire #fridayflash community is incredibly gifted and generous and helpful, but I would thank Jon Strother for starting the whole thing off and keeping it going. I'm thankful every day to be part of such a great group of people.<br /><br />Keep writing, and don't ever give up. You're very talented.Cat Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14160039271069426174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797188666559531190.post-28915396636277523582011-01-18T13:02:38.604-05:002011-01-18T13:02:38.604-05:00Well, I can give that back. You guest-blogged me ...Well, I can give that back. You guest-blogged me to give me exposure. You betaed my #12Days story. And a couple of weeks ago, when I was sure I couldn't possibly come up with a FridayFlash, you gently nudged me and I turned out one my better efforts. So right back atcha, Tony.<br /><br />This constant give and get is what we're supposed to do for each other. You -- and @mkelly317, @futurenostalgic, the Jasons, Brandon Layne, Icypop, Grace Crone and all kinds of other people who comment and say positive things (which nearly always arrive at a "giving up" point for me -- I see Divine intervention in that) make it possible for me to go on. If I can give that back, I always will.Janet Aldrich (TEC4)http://demonesprit.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
