Kind words from a stranger.
I received this comment on my wordpress.
It's pretty safe to say that I wasn't expecting this and that it was all sorts of encouraging.
"I happened on this blog looking for images of elephant ears. I’ve heard of people being allergic to the sap. I’m not thankful as my yard is full of them. Just because of how randomly I happened onto this blog I thought I would say that I wish you’d write your stories anyway even though you feel they deserve a more practiced pen. After all, that (in itself) is practice. If I could give you some unsolicited advice (take it or leave it), a proper editor would edit out anything unnecessary, so keep your writing very simple and only add things in order to clarify when absolutely necessary.
The fact that you write the blog and take time to write at all is proof that you’re a writer. You also read, so you know how important it is already. I’m probably old enough to be your mom, but I took the time to read your blog. So thanks for writing it. (: ))
God Bless Writers.

I just thought this was pretty cool.
