Hi, J J, Lynnie, and Dianne, I’m so touched by your comments that I got tears in my eyes. I’m profoundly moved by your support. Thank you all for participating in the forum in such depth as well as for sharing your stories with such openness. And thank you Dotsie for hosting this website, these forums; where else could we all be able to join together in this way! As much as the web can SEEM distant, it’s not at all, with sites such as this. In fact, just the opposite: this has been such an intimate setting.

Lynnie, I have actually thought about writing a book on creative nonfiction, but, well, as with most things, I haven’t had the time. Right now, I’m in the throes of trying to finish a collection of essays…so maybe when I finish with it?

Again, thanks to all of you for the gifts you’ve given me this past month. I don’t of course mean this to sound like a “real” good-bye! I’ll both check back here later this evening in case anyone has some last-minute questions…and, now that Dotsie and Lynnie have taught me how to access the forums (I’m technologically challenged), I’ll be visiting others. Love to all of you, Sue
