You are a thoughtful and engaged reader. You are every writer's dream. Thank you so much for what you you've said here. I've been writing such a long time . . . and I so want readers to hear what I'm saying. I work hard at finding the right words. I don't think it ever gets easy. Tammy,

Thank you so much for what you you’ve said here. I’ve been writing such a long time . . . and I so want readers to hear what I’m saying. I work hard at finding the right words. I don’t think it ever gets easy.

It is a step beyond converstational. A writing style that has a personal tone (allbeit professional) almost like a mentor that values the thoughts and questions as much as your own. Many of us do indeed value and WANT to hear what others have to say ~ it's just that we haven't mastered that type of interaction in this format. Being personable and accessible is a very valuable trait in real life so in the virtual world when you can convey this - it is what draws people in.

It's not easy at first to leave a loose when we've all been taught to tie things up so tightly, but the benefits of conversation make it worth to learn how. Liz Hey CB,

That leaves the door open for conversation, and we can all learn from that - from both the Qs and the As. Let's the mind wander, and that's good exercise. Thanks for the stroll.
