    I love this post, and you, so much.

    That was exactly the perspective I needed today. And it reminds me of how my teacher mom never pitted us against each other in our skills sets. Any competition or comparisons we have ever had or made came from within, and we all found our niche.

    I love your writing because I hear the delivery of it as I read, and that is an art.

    Damn straight you are. And a talented one. Thank you for a huge compliment although I will tell you every day that I am not a better writer than you.

    Love you Sarah.

    You are perfectly, beautifully you. I just feel lucky that we are different enough to make each other better at a variety of things, but so similar in the ways that matter. That was the friend jackpot.

    Besides, you might not be quite as metal as Sid, but you are infinitely moreso than I am. I have to have something going for me.

  5. I love this. I struggle with the very idea of calling myself a writer. Hell, I went to school and learned to write and had a career as one for a very long time. Then I stopped. I stopped for so long that when I started again, on a dare, it seemed like a farce. Then I read others who pull me in with their words and then have the odd idea of asking me to try my hand at the same thing and I panic. This will always and forever be a work in progress for me.

    I have felt this way lately too. I mean shit, yesterday I wrote a paragraph forgiving the creators of Play-Doh. Not real exciting stuff.

    But you are a writer. I am a writer. We do it our way. Everyone else does it their way. There is enough room in this blog world for all of us.

    You are a kick-ass writer, and don’t you forget it, Missy.

    I’m constantly in awe of you and all that you do.

    Did you hear who is singing the National Anthem at the Winter Classic?

  10. Lesley Asad says:

    yes l love it. i wish i could write posts like that.

  11. Alison says:

    There are many different types of singers too, not just levels. And many different types of writers. You are one of the best at the type of writing you do. That’s a big deal. I’m definitely not always happy with the type of writer I am either, writing corporate nonsense when other people are writing novels and poems and lyrics. But it’s a type of writing I do well. And I can still strive to do those other types someday too.

    (Hey, let’s sign up for a small, out-of-the-way writer’s retreat together someday. THAT sounds fun.)
