Some of you, I met several years ago... you introduced me to challenges and were my first crit partners. You read my first draft manuscripts and shared your work. We got to know each other with our pants down and still forged a friendship that lasts as we grow.
Some of you have my phone number. We've chatted for hours, built worlds and plots. We've agonized over tough scenes and created characters from nothing but a flimsy concept.
Together, my friends, you and I have taken ideas to the next level, turned them into books of which we can be proud. You were there as I learned to hone my craft and your words empowered and motivated me through dark times when I wanted to give up--and I stopped you from giving up, too.
Others, have helped me through writer's block, difficult scenes begging to be written, or that godawful editing phase I went through for the last year. Your help has been invaluable.
Some of you had never exchanged a crit before meeting me. You put your trust in me and I hope it was rewarded with an honest review that got you through the tall grass and well on your way.
Then there are those who devote their time to creating wonderful challenges, share with us their hard-won research, or simply create threads where we can discuss all those things we've never considered.
Some of you, I met a few weeks ago and we've become fast friends over this incredibly difficult but passionate hobby we share.
Scribes, whether you're lurkers, moderators, old friends, newbies, or chat-procrastinators... you've made this ride a whole lot more fun than when I was on it alone. You have my sincere gratitude.
