Better Than The Lottery!

Opinion • February 2015 • Views: 1,837

Hi! Just wanted to let you all know how thrilled and happy I am for the warm welcome and the most excellent comments. I’ve never posted on someone else’s blog before. LGF has quite the serious rep on the internet. So I was floored and thrilled when Charles offered me the chance to publish my work on his blog. My 2 little blogs get maybe 10 views max. LGF regularly gets 100s. This was especially important given the subject I was writing about. The comments have been especially encouraging. You took my writing seriously, and I can’t thank you enough.

I am very new at this writing game. It took me 2 whole days to get that little essay into decent shape. I still have a great many doubts about my abilities. To be so well received is a huge boost. Maybe I can write after all!
100,000 thanks!

Your contribution was very well thought out. As you stated you took two days to get it into shape. The fact that you feel very strongly about the subject matter also helps a great deal. Please do come back again. :)

It was a hell of a piece of work.

Will echo the thanks for the post, and would like to also note that yes, you can write. The presentation was cogent and coherent; the points you were making followed a logical progression; and the sources you cited backed your points.

If I were blue-pencilling (yeah, it’s a writer’s habit), there were a few places where you could consider cutting a word or two to be more concise. Maybe a couple of sentences where the clauses could be arranged to avoid a comma. Very minor suggestions that would not affect the clarity of the ideas and opinions expressed. I’d say those two days of work produced a quite competent result.

Looking forward to hearing more!
