RE: Meet Rat Boy, Armenta, and more - #GottaLove @adncabrera! - @Freewritehouse
Dear @carolkean, you're adorable. I'm really touched by your enthusiasm for my work and I'm proud that a good writer like you has taken so much work with my blog.
I especially appreciate your recommendation to publish Chico Rata. It is a stimulus that adds to a desire that I have a time caressing with my daughter, who is a very young girl designer and a very talented illustrator.
I would also like to write about you, because I like your writing very much. You have that gift of being authentic and linking your stories and reflections as you elevate them to the territory where fictions are made and where our lives border on it. I know it sounds like gibberish, but it's as close as I can get to the feeling your writings give me. In addition, there is that spark of humour, of a smile in the background, a wink...
This is Steemit's magic, finding talented and warm people like you.
We will continue reading our texts and speaking, for sure.
In my country these days are extremely tense and dangerous, but I will find the time to keep in touch.
Thank you again. A big hug!
Chico Rata, illustrated by your daughter - I hope to see it!!! So many Steemians now have connections and experience as Indie Authors. (Wouldn't it be cool if Freewritehouse became one of those Steemit publishers?)
----Ohhh man, if I could Resteem your comment, I would. I need to print it out, frame it, post it where I can see it and REMEMBER that there really are people who "get" me. Ok, you're thousands of miles away, across an ocean, and English is a second language, so of course you'll not notice how awful I really am.... LOL.... some people give names to their inner critic, the whiner, the naysayer, the voice of negativity. Thank the Universe for people like you, @adncabrera, and all the Steemit readers who've encouraged me. @fitinfun I have not forgotten your incredible offer to help me get my stories published at Amazon. It so happened that Amazon flushed all my reviews so I keep wishing kobo or some other site would do what Amazon is doing with romance stories. Why do I keep giving up on myself and selling myself short? THANK YOU all for the encouraging words -- I must commit them to memory, internalize them, and block out the negative feedback (or lack of ANY feedback, which may actually be worse).
