You always manage to fit so much, spoken and unspoken, into so few words...

Ah, thank you! I had a word limit of 200-300 words on this one. You should check out this place and give it a try if you are interested. It seems pretty easy, and the guidelines suggest that they are super open to interpretation:

I know you like to write sometimes, and this one seems like it would be really really low pressure. You have such talent that I would love to encourage (but not push) you.

Thank you so much for always taking the time to read my work. I can't tell you how much your support means to me, that you always check in and make the time to read my stuff.

You are a talented writer and talented writers deserve support and encouragement, and they don't get enough of it.

I seem to be able to pretend I have some talent at writing but when push comes to shove, there's nothing really special there.

Oh, don't say that! Right from the time we met at BF I could tell that you were very good. You have cultivated that skill even in the time I have known you. Don't sell yourself short! I can understand if you don't want to publish, and that's fine! But don't feel like that makes you less of a talented author.

It's hard for my perfectionist self, especially with the obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, to accept that I could be any good when so many people are so much better.

I can understand that. I really can. The thing I like about writing is that there are so many styles out there that there is room for everyone. I like that it isn't really a competition. Or else I'd fold up and die, because I don't feel like I could take it at all! But everyone brings something new and fresh to the table. And you definitely have something compelling to offer. I am a huge fan of yours. I hope that you enjoy writing enough and find the joy in the task to keep with it, because you really are very wonderful at it!
