Well, Pryde, you know I don't want to see you go and I'm glad you're going to take the time to re-evaluate. I am guilty of not coming over all the time even though I absolutely adore everything that you write. I have had the pleasure of purchasing your books and I'm delighted every time you get on and do a read.

The fact that you are not getting traction on your post surprises me, and yet appalls me because you are not the only person this happens too and I am truly perplexed. When someone takes the time out of their busy day to put out such a well-written post, I have to wonder why it doesn't have money thrown at it. I mean seriously, I have never read a post of yours that didn't shine. You have got to know that I am not saying this because of you talking about leaving, but, as your friend and a huge fan of yours.

I can understand your disappointment in giving all that money to the blockchain and not getting, at the very least, a bit of interaction back. They certainly lack in the interaction department and even myself, who usually will get a few comments with each post would be lacking in that true interaction aspect. It feels like a failure when a person gets a little quip to fill that square of having commented. So I'm not sure a comment is a comment without the true interaction. Don't get mad at me but I upvoted it 100% because you deserve way more than that and I don't care if you don't want my money. You darn well know you want that $0.04, well if you are lucky, it may well be up to $0.05. Now, don't be getting excited until you look. I cannot take any more disappointments today.

I'm pretty sure that you have no idea how much people really think of you and I think it's kind of sad on one hand to have you saying you're leaving and for me to come over here and tell me how wonderful you are and please don't leave. But the fact is, I really do feel like you're wonderful. I really do feel like the blockchain would have a hole in it. I really do feel like you have a reason to be here but it's just not quite evident to you right now.

You are a fighter and I know that you have given it a good fight but I'm just asking you to stay a little bit longer and see if the tides don't shift. We can do this! Love to you my friend and I don't expect you to go anywhere without at least telling me. As far as I am concerned, you are going to take a little bit of time off, which I'll give you a day or two and then you'll come back swinging hard. And as for people reposting stuff? Everybody uses pieces or pictures or a thought from time to time and I am so sorry that someone stabbed you for that. I get downvoted for using SBI as a reward. If I mention the name like I just did here I'll probably get another down vote. I know it's not about the money although that's nice. To lose money and then be insulted with a non-existent audience at times will hurt my feelings, so my part in not being here more makes me a little sad. Your kind and thoughtful and a brilliant writer and I don't want you to stop posting here.

As a matter of fact, I think that you should consider joining PowerHouseCreatives. PHC has members supporting members and their writings. They require a little sweat for their equity, but, it gets your name out and on the map. And there are many writing challenges. I think you would be a good fit. Try it, you'll like it. (That was in my best Italian accent.) Let me know what you think about PowerhouseCreatives. It won't hurt to give it a chance and see how you feel about it. It may also be just the thing you were looking for. They promote their people.

Okay now. I want you to repeat that back to me just so I make sure that you understand. Love you bunches and I expect to see you posting. As an aside, I want to thank you for always taking the time to come over, reading my post and vote me after leaving a genuine, and always complimentary comment.

Love, Denise
