I appreciate what you are doing to the community especially in your #ians where you really give a leg up to these folks.
I will also start doing it and I have sent two people your way that was highlighted and felt very welcomed so it is much appreciated.

I have recently joined the writer's block and reading on the Archives. It really helped me in pursuing my writing career and the tips are invaluable. I am not that active in chat because I am a bit overwhelmed and low self esteem on seeing some of the writers there. Hopefully when I gain more confidence I will join some of the workshops and get critiqued.

I will continue to support your initiatives and more power to you.
