Everyone knows that unity is power. United we stand; united we sit. That is my take on that famous saying. My point is that going it alone (no matter what “it” is) takes a lot of self-motivation, perseverance, and faith. The statistics below come from my postings on my National Writing Project page. 
I wish I can channel those many viewers to this and my other blogs by chanting a mantra.
I guess that outlet will be the equivalent of someone pushing the button of prerecorded compliments when he/she is feeling down. I posted some stats from the same link when the Kennesaw Mountain Writing Project ended months ago. I had not gone that route until I received a survey to rate my experience, so I took a journey westward (I guess; my mind sees it as the west) and discovered that people are still hitting my postings. I am eternally grateful and have returned the same to them.

It’s validating to know I am not alone. But missing something makes us appreciate it more too. We have a funny expression in my family that is meant the be endearing. How can I miss you if you won’t go away? 🙂

I loved your poetry… It’s fancy…it’s tasty!
I also loved it because it teased my brain…and knocked on closed doors of knowledge to open!
i am just discovering an emerging poet in me…Your poems are inspiring

Frances-
I love reading YA fiction! Most likely because that is the age group I teach and I am always sneaking peeks at their titles to see what is going on in “their” world. Don’t give up…and let me know when you have something meaty to chew on!

I can’t even think of an adjective to completely describe my feelings about being involved with the Kennesaw Mountain Writing Project. Like you Frances, I am ecstatic. I know this is going to be a transformative experience and I look forward to applying my new insights and knowledge to my class in the fall.
I think this will be a time of discovery for all of us! I am glad to share the exploration with you!
