In Response To: Re: More on hits! (Karen)

I agree. . .although I think that allot of people don't know how to say it or are somehow fearful of expressing themselves

Writing is a very personal thing for me and it took me a while to get up any nerve to try to really do it, to show it to people.

And don't get me wrong, what Karen said about response is true - frankly there isn't a whole lot of reader response these days and though my last message here makes it almost seem as if I've gotten allot of responses, only one really stood out, as I've described and the others are a very small handful - maybe four, I'm not sure.

I'll be shameless and say I'd love to hear comments - any comments, good or bad (but I prefer good. . .) It's always very interesting to me to hear what others think, their opinions and such, I find this sort of feedback invaluable
