Thank You

Hello folks, i wanted to pass along some vital tributes and heartfelt bits of gratitude for all the members of WDC. Over the years I have built some incredible friendships. There may be distance and computer monitors between us, but the encouragement and warm welcomes I have received since day one have been amazing.
Here at WDC, I get to do two things that thrill me. First, I get to read the heart-pounding tales and the inspirational poetry of incredible writers. It is like reaching deep into a box of Cracker Jacks and finding a prize that you didn't know you were searching for. Imagine being allowed to explore the psyche of great and imaginative artists. With their words written on the page, they open the door to invite us to the cozy seat by the fire. And while sitting fireside, the glowing embers mesmerize and entice.
Secondly, I get to unleash the thoughts swirling in my head, I can bring a Kewpie Doll to life or turn the mirror to reflect the ugliness of life. I can take a snowy walk with Frosty or hide from the furry creatures in my closet. I am given the freedom explore the dark side of my cognition or display the goodness of people. I can paint a portrait of stars twinkling in the night sky or depict the fear of mankind. At my typewriter, the feelings pour out with cause and concern for the human race. My weird sense of humor struts freely. Thank you WDC for letting me be me.
I must mention the folks over at SCREAMS!! They are incredible. The reviews and encouragement, have made me feel like I'm sipping a drink at the bar with old friends. Whether cheers or jeers, they welcome me with open arms. I have grown as a writer because of them. They push you to do better and tell you that you can accomplish it. Angus, my hat is off to you and i'm toasting you as you read this. .
