Share a Smile! · 4:10am Sep 13th, 2017
Look, I know that I'm kind of a nobody on this site, but I've decided to pick up Crystal Wishes' "Share a Smile" idea. In case you haven't heard of it, here's what she wrote:
Here's what I'd like everyone to do: write a blog post about someone (or someones!) who you don't normally interact with that you admire, look up to, or just simply want to praise in some way. Then tag it with Share a Smile, as well as the names of the user(s) you wrote about. If we're lucky—if enough of y'all participate—that person may just have the happy surprise of finding your post. If you could also include instructions at the bottom of your post for others who see it to do the same, that would be super!
So, even though I doubt they'll see this post, here's to Naturalbornderpy. If you're reading this, you have made me smile so many times with your writing that I'd like to return the favor. You write some of the funniest stories on this site, and with good writing, too--for me, technically bad writing can absolutely kill a story, so it's a huge relief when I can get lost in one of your stories without ever being jolted out of my "reading trance" by a grammatical error or awkward sentence.
Likewise, I'd like to send a smile to Curious Quill. Thanks for putting up with me, and helping me edit and pre-read all those chapters that will never see the outside of my Google Drive. You've been a great sport, especially since I'm such a flake and basically ditch every project I don't one-shot and publish immediately. You definitely deserve a smile today!
