Dear Cherie, i disagree with that! Firstly you just needed a bit of motivation, and with lots of people telling you you could, you turned that into you did!
When I first went on DG I got quite a lot of not so nice people who made my life not so nice, and I wanted to give up. The only person who replied and was kind and motivated me, was Sharon!
I too was awe struck by her writing and read everything she wrote. I was used to writing more scientific things or things with a bit of my humor in, but Sharon encouraged me to write and not to take notice of the people who prefer to run me down. I soon learnt what forums not to go on, on DG and to steer away from certain people. But she motivated me all the time and I wrote more and enjoyed it.
I may say this as Sharon and I became friends, and we have had many lively and humorous discussions on many things over the time on DG, and indeed still do. I help where I can Sharon out, and Sharon helps me out immensely!
We all have our own writing style, Sharon hers, you have your own and I have mine. I did not when looking at your Article want to change or alter that. It would have shown up like a sore thumb if I had attempted to write your Article and I did not want to. So all I did was to fix some typo errors which we all make, put a link in to your name and sort the pictures out. We all have had trouble with pictures as sometimes they and the text seem to have a mind of their own!
It is your Article done by you, not me or anybody else! All you needed is the motivation to do it and you have.
Now we await the second installment to your Article, and then we want to see a short story about something on Sharon's stories cubit!
Regards.
Neil.
