What Hubwriters do you admire and why?
This is a little different than 'what hubbers do you have a crush on' and not so "putting you on the spot"lol
I will go later. I'm new
admire? 'k, that is different than like or have a crush on, so in that case i would say:
Darkside because he is a fount (font?) of knowledge and doesn't horde it but shares it freely, which says a lot about him personally.
i admire Sunforged for his meticulous research and sharing of information. he is very technical and knowledgable and i guess i could be that way too someday if i put the effort into it, which i don't, so i admire him for his obvious hard work and effort in that regard.
i also admire Marisa Wright because she is successful and considered a 'power hubber' and is well respected by the community but doesn't expect people to curtsey to her.
i admire Oli because he is also very successful but doesn't go around bragging about his success or feeling like he is better than others for it.
i admire Sufidreamer for his positivity and sweet nature.
i admire Winsome's formidable writing skill set.
i admire rebekeahELLE for following her own path and having confidence in her self and her writing.
and that wild and crazy guy, Adsense Strategies, who also gets my 'like' and 'crush' votes as well
Forgot to add sufi dreamer-really nice person.
Mark Knowles for his sense of humor
earnesthub- have had good debates with him
and paraglider for his sens of humour.
And off course my friend paarsurrey who gets carried away at times.
I would say there are several.....
Honesty in their writing...
Disturbia
Blondepoet
Kimberlylyrics
H.C.Porter
Frogdropping
Each write from within themselves...(ironically, all women) You're welcome Blondepoet. I'm honored by your kind words as well. Thank you very much.
It is always my pleasure you lovely thing you.
)
I agree with blondepoet though I didn't have the words, but I sensed something, and you are here in the forums ALOT! Welcoming newcomers but also I think it may help get new followers!!
Romantic souls...........
Thank you very much CC.
Here Here , Thank you very much CC, I do believe I am *blushing*
Also since I still consider myself a *newbie* around these parts where people may mention 'ahhhhhh he's just finished being new, and the plastic wrapping is off', what do I do with all this plastic wrapping I have taken off?????? recycle?
ooooohhh shucks........ still *blushing*
cute too!
Thank you very much. I'm honored.
Thank you very much. I'm honored by your words as well.
I'll second that, and add Shadesbreath to the list as well.
Another list of fine hubbers who help others. Well done!
Thanks for the mention, H.C.-we do have a lot in common.
I admire you very much as well, in addition to Shadesbreath, McHamlet, Mighty Mom, Duchess O'Blunt, mega1, ralwus and Stan Fletcher (and not just 'cause he's cute!)
Oh dear, though, this is another thread where we're bound to leave folks out...sooooo many more!Right back at ya babe
Thanks IE and Cosette - you made me blush.
They are both hubbers worth reading - IE has a fascinating way of looking at religion and spirituality, and Cosette takes you on a wonderful trip through American pop culture.
There are many talented wordsmiths on Hubpages - Paraglider, Blondepoet and Shades have been mentioned. I would add
CJ Stone - A professional journalist and travel writer
Teresa McGurk - She can make you laugh and cry in a single sentence.
James Watkins - I love his writing voice
Aya Katz - Her work with Bow is a must read
D.A.L. - He is from my part of the world and always makes me feel a little homesick!
Ghost32 - Love his hubs about building his own home from sandbags
Hal Licino - I disagree with his political views, but I like the guy and he is a very engaging writer
Cris A - A good writer and creative with Photoshop, too.
LondonGirl - She is getting her own site up and running and is sadly missed, but writes wonderful Hubs about English history
There are many more, but these fine, entertaining writers are a great startA great group of interesting and helpful hubbers in this list too! You guys rock! HI Sufi!
I am a big fan of Hal's motorcycle hubs too.Hi Earnest - we are doing well in Greece. It is very hot and sunny, but we hope to take a trip to the beach in the next couple of days.
How is life in the Greek colony known as Melbourne?Hi Sufi.
Glad to know all is well in Greece. Melbourne is going great, especially for many of my Greek friends who met the financial crisis cashed up!
3 of my Greek friends are making big money from the financial crisis. One in used cars, another in real estate and the third from plumbing.
Greek Australians are major survivors!
Glad that life is treating you well.
Greeks certainly do know how to get through the bad times - Greek ingenuity and Aussie grit is always a good mix - one of my Aussie-Greek friends just built some boarding kennels for dogs and is doing very well.
I wish I had thought of it first!Awe...thank you
made me blush with that lovable compliment
C/mon. You know you write great stuff here.
aw thanks lecie. appreciate you saying that. i admire you a lot too.
thanks cosette and kyriana, honored to be admired by such wonderful writers.
I really admire everyone I follow, and I follow people from everywhere, for that reason.. I think it's fascinating to read hubs written by people from different countries, continents, cultures. I've cried, laughed, felt comfort and sheer joy, just about every emotion while reading hubs and I do read many. I don't always comment, but I travel through Hubville finding treasures everywhere. this morning I actually went on an adventure with CJ Stone birdwatching along the Danube Delta into Romania. it is pure pleasure. :]
but I admire many more than I follow. someone will pop up on my newsfeed or in the forum, and I admire their voice.
HP is really a wonderful place on the web.Sandra Rinck, because of her openness and honesty that allow to observe a development of her wonderful personality
Yep! Sandra is right up there!
I am so glad this thread started to take off BP, it is a great place for new hubbers to see how it is done.
You are among the best BP, your humour lights this place up as well.- I know you admire BP Misha, good taste these Russians!
Love you too Trish.
OMG OMG ... nobody's mentioned me yet!!!
And they won't.
There's been a lot of good hubbers listed above. I won't write my list as I feel unworthy as a follower at the moment because
[a] I probably haven't clicked to follow my favourites yet (maybe forgot that day)
[b] I've not commented on their hubs
shame on me
Loads of fab people here in hubs! Lots of nutters too ... sometimes the two groups interchangeI admire Hubber: Art 4 Life.
Her tales of living on the mountain in a completely different culture are outstanding. She writes from personal experience & is blunt, as well as to the point. Her generosity is real. for what she's been through, & is going through now, she's risen above it all by allowing herself to have compassion on those who persecute her & using humor to deal with it.
Hats off to 'Art 4 Life'!!
http://hubpages.com/profile/Art+4+LifeAll these hubbers deserve a mention: Rebekah, DoorMattnomore, Tantrum, Duchess O Blunt, Charanjeet, Paradise, LisaH, Cheeky Girl, Sage W, Blonde Poet, Prettydark, Shil1978, Rochelle, Cosette, PeggyW, Kimberly, Wrenfrost, Wavegirl, Mega1, Tatjana, Nellieana, Emievil, KCC, Tammy L, Pamela99, Izzy, Habee, Alekhouse, Fastfreta, A.E, trish, elayne, CMHypno, Polly C, Feline P, Shaz, Ladybird, MightyMom, SallyTrove, Kerryg, GlassSpider, Becca, Rafini, SusanaS, Katiem, Blackreign, Zsusy, Lorlie, MoneyGlitch, Donotfear, Redelf, Misty, Beth100, UW, Humming, wyanjen, SusanL, Anath, drb, rmcrayne, Valerie, MagicStar, Pinky, QuirkyP, Kadmiels,Terence.... and on and on....
And don't even get me started on the male hubbers!
@ Tony, thank you so much, the admiration is mutual!I know... u rekon I should do a part 2?
Justine76 - who isn't here anymore. I admire Justine's style and her willingness to share her life with us - if it weren't for Justine I probably wouldn't have shared so much of my life.
Qwark - his writing intrigues me, although I often don't agree with him.
Cagsil - he's always there and willing to help.
lmmartin - she willingly shares her knowledge on life and writing.
Shazwellyn - her gentle persuasion will never convince me, but I admire her spirit for trying.
Aficionada - her forum posts always sound well thought out and kind.
I admire every hubber who participates regularly in the forums - for sharing their knowledge, showing the rest of us how to have fun, being there to support another hubber as needed, and, for those who aren't easily offended - anyone who is patient enough to put up with me and my lack of understanding in the social department. ha ha ha!!! Door Matt no more....not letting people walk on me...
Thank you guys. (Its the same pic, I have no clue how to do photoshopping.)
I am no good at lists, there are way too many hubbers I admire. If I follow you, I admire you, for one or another, and I am always finding new people to follow.
Okay, my "short list"
would have to include SunForged, DarkSide, FrogDropping, Habee, Nelle Hoxie, Marisa Wright, Misha, EarnestHub, RyanKett, Mark Knowles, FrogDropping, Empress Felicity, ShadesBreath, Greek One, PCUnix, Thisisoli, Sufidreamer, UninvitedWriter, AidenRoberts, AEvans, Rochelle Frank, Red Elf, RMCrayne, Julie-Ann Amos, Emievel, Cosette, MrVoodoo, Lady E and others.
As a group, they are able to make money here at HP, stir up controversy, put out fires, educate others, provoke thought, provide encouragement and knowledge, and in some cases, even shut up the religionists.I'm not sure if it is a joke or not? I suspect that I may be on the list for stating that I don't like her friend Cagsil.. although ironically I have grown to like him. I would find it most unusual if she held a grudge against that many people at once, that is a hefty list.
I can quite literally count on one finger the number of people that I genuinely dislike on this site, and that person had to send me threats of physical violence to achieve that classification.
Sure, there are a few that get right on my nerves. A few that I disagree with 95% of the time, a few with massively inflated egos, but it takes a lot for me to genuinely dislike somebody. However, it could be a joke
In fact I am pretty certain that it IS a joke, as Cagsil is on her list... a few days ago they still seemed to very much get on like a house on fire? Joke it is...OMG Ryan it was a total joke, it was who I admire, sorry you misunderstood me. I actually have only ran into 2 people I am not fond of. I fear you won't see this. Do you think I would dislike so many, and you of all people? Please, I am sorry.
did it again.:
myownworld , breakfastpop,prettydarkhorse,James Watkins , Stan Fletcher Cheeky Girl, Hal Lucino and probably 100 more.Lot's of good writers here.
Thanks Jackie, I have always wanted to be on a goodie list.. I am honored..
My 1st mention.. Ahhhh
