Thank you Terry for this postscript. I enjoyed reading your thinking about the interviews. You answered my main question. How or why did you choose the writers to be interviewed? I am not a poet and didn't realize how much work went into writing poetry. Jay Squires reviewed my first poem and gave it five stars, but wasn't impressed with one word I had used. He said the word was over used. I never wrote poetry so I didn't know. Thank you once again Terry for all your hard work. It was a real eye opener.

Ah, here is the place to leave my six intended as much for you as for all three of your interviewees. I "bookcased" each of their fascinating insights into reading, reviewing, taming the muse, and our inclination to override her! Thanks for sharing how these three came to be chosen, although few would quibble with an answer of "Massive Talent!"

I've often seen a tribute to celebrate an author on site -- I've written a few myself, but oh, this was so much more inspired than that! Not "THAT" you liked them, but their own perspective on what checks THEIR boxes--offered with their humanity, humor, and abundant wisdom!

I thoroughly enjoyed each and thank you for your thoughtful gesture.
You've tied it up neatly with a bow here...as in ribbon. And with a bow here, as in, I hope, acceptance of the "bravo" intended!

Well, I have been sow bogged down with the burdens of life and death lately, yet, here my friend, is one for the road. There has been much effort on all sides, and considering the amount, even as said, as I usually stay beneath the radar, much effort in making this feasible and in good taste for the reader, has been down to your thoughts of the production. This six stars is for you as much Jay and Lyenochka.

My best to you for a job done...effort, time and impartiality.
My very best wishes..
Have a good weekend.
RG

Terry Broxson's "Postscript" is an informal, friendly thank-you and acknowledgement of three FanStory writers who have read and reviewed his work. It is a unclear what pieces of his writing these writers reviewed, but Mr. Broxson makes it clear that each of the three reviewers were helpful to him as a writer in their suggestions and corrections.
Postscripts of acknowledgement are rarely entertaining, and this example of that courteous recognition by an assisted author is mainly laudatory; however, it does specifically name one each of these three authors' works, which gives the reader the opportunity to read these editor/writers whom Mr. Broxson praises so fulsomely. Reading something by an editor gives that reader some basis for understanding the editor's merits, even if what he or she edited is not named.

It was a very detailed postscript. You can tell you put thought into who you interviewed. It was interesting because it was the first few that reviewed you.

I do love writing that explains why one writes what one writes. This is exactly the sort of deconstruction I want to read. I hope someone else does take up the challenge!

Hello Terry.

Interviewing 3 writers from fanstory was an ambitious undertaking. I commend you for having the patience to do that. You did a good job posing the questions and then eliciting the answers and comments from the subjects. I did not identify with all of the techniques expressed by those you interviewed but that's exactly why you can buy a car in 10 different colors.

    Robert, thank you very much, and RG even expressed exactly what you said, his suggestions were only a way, not the way. Whatever you are doing is working really well for you! Terry.

Sometimes there are contest here for entries on "Why I Write", which always provides very interesting glimpses and insights to fellow Fanstorians methods and motives.
Your interview series, in choosing respected and established writers, went much deeper and provided useful and relevant information not only about the writers themselves but about the craft of writing.
Thank you for facilitating such an interesting series.

-I appreciate this follow-up, Terry.
-It is very interesting and makes a good conclusion to the project.
-I like how the people interviewed gave you some new directions to explore.
-Jay is very witty, and I love his line from his review!
-I liked how you came up with the idea, and your interest in other writers on the site is commendable.
-I definitely do not think you need "a double-platinum premier for stupid writers."
-I was a high school English teacher for 29 years, and you need to experience some of the faux pas from doing that! Most of the time they were funny mistakes. Teachers used to make up lists of those things commonly misused that were also funny. Geography was another category that got some really weird answers or questions when they were writing something or discussing a story.
-Thanks for sharing your favorite works by them, and commenting about how you knew "Zoe". It was a touching part of your piece.
-Thanks for everything you put into this. I enjoyed it all!
