For those of you who haven't heard...we lost a great writer and fellow friend.
I am deeply saddened by the unexpected death of my friend & fellow writer, Steven Lester Carr.
Sorry Brenda. You introduced Steve to some of us here. What a great guy and a great loss to us.
Yes. He was the Editor & Publisher of Sweetycat Press.
https://www.sweetycatpress.com/
Ever since we crossed paths, my work has been published in his anthologies.
Yes. And I recalled when you introduced him here and I drafted 'The Beautiful'. It's still lodpe in my data base. I hope to share it on Hubpages some day. Thanks.
Miebakagh...
Yes, I introduced him & told everyone where they could submit work.
Was this one included in "The Beautiful"
This is a loss to the writing world....thank you.
It's sad when anyone dies, particularly someone that we respected or loved. My condolences to you, Brenda. It sounds like Steven was a very nice person.
Thank you Linda.
He was really a terrific person.
He went that extra mile to help others...even beyond writing.
Oh no, Brenda! That is such a shock. Steven was a great guy, writer, and inspiration to others. He gave many aspiring writers a chance to have their work published in his anthologies. What a sad loss.
It is so sad John.
I knew he had returned to the hospital, but he had asked us not to send messages ...he knew we all cared & would see us when his health improved.
He truly helped give confidence to many writers.
This is sad, Brenda, especially when one loses an esteemed member of the writing community. My condolences are with you and his family. I hope the pioneering press started by him continues without any hiccups.
I have no idea what will happen to Sweetycat Press.
I believe Steven pretty much handled it.
It would be great if his efforts were to continue, but it will not be the same.
Steve had a special quality about him which truly encouraged us to write and have confidence in our ability.
I am far too sad at Steve Carr's demise, Brenda. I liked participating in his anthologies and contributing to them. He was a rare gem, encouraging so many writers around the world. I contributed short stories to the last five anthologies including the recent one, "The Gift." He will be missed. May God rest him in peace.
I truly feel that sadness also, Rosina.
It's heartbreaking.
He had recently written me a letter of recommendation that went way beyond what I actually needed.
I will treasure this letter, as well as our numerous texts and emails.
He was really inspiring & touched so many Writer's around the world.
I contributed to one or two of his anthologies. I'm deeply saddened to learn of his death. I had also exchanged a few emails with him, he was a very kind and sweet person. May God bless his soul and grant his family the strength to bear this great loss. May his soul find eternal peace! Ameen!
Thank you for posting this news, Bredz
Thanks Misbah...
He was always so excited when I told him a few of my friends from Hubpages were sending in submissions for his anthologies.
I'm so glad you & a few of the other Hubbers got to experience his kindness first hand.
I'm glad your words are in those books also.
I pray God blesses his soul & comforts his family & friends.
I am so sorry to hear about Steven. My condolences to you Brenda. It sounds like this was unexpected, and that is so difficult.
This is sad news, Brenda. Thanks for letting us know. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Steven.
Pamela,
He will be missed by many in the writing world.
He made such an impact in everyone's life.
Not only with writing, but by reaching out with a helping hand on many occasions.
My condolences to you, his family, friends, and all others who crossed paths with Steven. It sounds like he had great impact on others who enjoy the art of writing.
Peggy...
He truly did have an impact on Writer's across the world.
He also helped financially when a crisis hit his friends...like a hurricane or floods.
He had a compassionate heart.

Brenda has a new word prompt for us, but she has very sad news to share. Ron has passed on. She will be taking a break for a few weeks. But she still gives us a prompt to work on. She still gives highlights of fellow writers' responses to the previous word prompt, "Respect." Let us show...

Matt posted on one of our threads that if we edit (our lowly) HP articles, there's a good chance they'll move to Discover. Well, I have done that, and they are moving over. I am not saying I am making money, but they are now Discover articles.
